Here's a question I don't think I've seen discussed before. What do the providers recommend for a diary/soy allergic child after the first birthday. By then some kids are getting wise to the taste of Nutramigen (or the parents are getting sent to the poorhouse paying for it). Rice Milk only comes in non-fat or 1% fat formulations. I'm not sure about Goat's milk. I've not seen any other substitutes with the "high fat" content we're supposed to keep kids on until they're two. So what do you do?
