Hi, I have a 10 month old little girl with a severe MPA, and I am hoping to wean her of the breast at 1 yr. I have read other posts where people have said that they have used other milks to substitute such as hemp and coconut at this age. DD already has some of these in her diet, as well as having Nutramigen AA with her breakfast cereal (she point blank refuses to to drink the stuff though, can't say I blame her as it tastes vile!). I was hoping to use either hemp or coconut milk or a mixture mornings and evenings, but having looked at the ingredients of the fortified milks I buy - 'Good Hemp' and 'Kara' coconut milk, they both seem to contain salt. It says on the hemp milk that it has 5% of adult RDA of sodium per 250ml serving, which seems quite a lot to me. DD does not have any salt in diet if I can help it, does anyone know if this amount of sodium could be harmful for babies? I know you can start being a little less strict about their salt intake post 1yr, but even so, giving her something that contains salt day in day out goes against the grain for me. Or does anyone know any brands of these milks that don't have salt? (I am in the UK). I don't use rice milk as dietician said they no longer recommend it for children under 5 as has some sort of arsenic (!) in it. Oat milk seems to be just oats and water, not great nutritionally. I will ask dietician about all this but not got appt till Dec. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
