Calcium for bf toddler with dairy intolerance?
« on: September 06, 2007, 22:28:18 pm »
My 20 month LO is still bf (4 feeds per day).  However, he can't tolerate dairy.  Do you think that he needs some sort of calcium supplement?  I have been giving him a diluted calcium fortified OJ with his breakfast and dinner. 

Do they even make calcium supplements for toddlers?

It might be worth trying to give your son other calcium rich foods instead before considering a supplement.

Thats a great page all the information I had looked at had all the dairy sources mixed into the list. I was going to go through it and edit them out to put on this post but you have saved me a job.
