Okay weight is one thing but surely his calcium needs are another. I argued that mini Waka would be malnourished without all the lovely fats from dairy. How are you weighing him? You also have to play the system to get what you want so if the calorie drink is hurting him then stick with that and don’t share His weight gain and focus on how he’s meant to get his nutrients and calcium. I wrote an a4 sheet of notes before my appointments to argue what I wanted. If they said neocate junior is an option go with that. I doubt he’ll get the gut issues on that and it’s full of lots of nutrients for him.He currently has oat milk and was prescribed a calorie drink which was pure fat so made him really uncomfortable and pooing a lot so I never gave him it so from the last 3 weeks he has finally gained weight from just oat milk and his lunch and dinner.
She did say if he didn’t get on with the calorie drinks she would prescribe neocate but if he is gaining weight now she might say he is ok?
He does have the PF yoghurts and is absolutely fine with those but is really uncomfortable and diarrhoea from soy based yoghurts.
The last 3 weeks many people have noticed how much bigger he looks and I can only put that down to quitting the dairy? For reference he has to wear 3-6 month trousers for them to stay up so it is pretty bad x
mini Waka cannot tolerate any alternative milk so if you need to fabricate some issues in order to get the neocate, sorry, then do so. I am so angry that as mothers we have to FIGHT for what we know of right for our children. They refused mini waka neocate on the basis there was no medical need so the fact they’ve hinted towards that for mini stardust is amazing.
Also coconut collaborative do fortified yoghurts with no added sugar as mini Waka can’t have soya either
