Jazmum I fed on one boob and expressed on the other about half an hour later. I was really stressed at only getting 40 mls using my pump as I got nearly that with a quick round of hand expressing last week, but I guess if we're using it only occasionally I can freeze that and then keep adding to it in layers until I've got a decent amount. I think DD1 was 8 months when I saw the dietician and she toldme about rice milk but said to get the so natural brand (can't remember why but when I looked at my notes So Natural was underlined). I only use a tiny amount in cooking because it's not suitable to replace breastmilk or formula at this age. I would also give it to her in a cup on the odd occasion if I was caught out away from her and there was no EBM available, but not on a regular basis at this stage. I find it really handy for things like weetbix but also for cooking semolina and cornflour-based custards, which when you're not doing yoghurt or milk yet is pretty damn handy. If you think H has had a reaction to the dairy it might be worth seeing a dietician yourself??
