Can I Continue Almond Milk For 17 Month Baby Who Dislikes Milk Products? Is Vitamins Necessary?

My daughter is 17 months and cannot eat or drink milk product. She is unable to digest it and vomits until she gets its all out of her system. Soy milk gives her hives but she can eat foods with soy. She was on nutramigen and then nutramigen toddler but now refuses to drink her formula. I have started her on almond milk as i have read rice milk can contain arsenic. She loves almond milk and has had no trouble with it. However, I have noticed she is not as big as other kids her age but has always been in the normal percentile range for weight and height. Is almond milk ok for her? Should i have her on some kind of vitamin drops as well?

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
You can give almond milk to your baby as usual
In addition you give Astymin C drops which contain vitamins,minerals and aminiacids..
You may feed with fruit juices, curd rice and vegetable soups.
you may also give boiled egg white portin and cereal sprouts.
Give some calcium preparation to help in the bone growth .
If you take trouble of feeding as advised definitely she is going to pick up weight.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Further questions if any are invited.
