Kara, does M drink anything else other than rice milk?  How do you make sure he is getting enough fats?
No, as you know I can only trial 1 new food monthly and I haven't gotten around to almonds or almond milk.  His milk has the same stats as every milk in the isle.  He gets tons of fat via avocados, flaxseed, olive oil, canola oil, coconut milk, PB (which he is obsessed with and eats on everything), and fish oil.  So I am definitely not worried about that.  Probably the one area I don't stress over..lol.  From the age of 1-2, I added coconut  milk to his rice milk, so that it was the equivalent of whole milk.  But now I don't worry, since I know he is getting fat in other areas.

Rice milk contains the same calories as semi skimmed cows milk it has sunflower oil added
but obviously they shouldnt have semi skimmed till 2

Almond milk is VERY expensive though £3 in holland and barrt for a litre

This is all I was wondering as I know coconut milk added brings the fat content up to the same as cow's milk.  :)

Thanks girls I think what I will do is use rice milk when I just need to soften up the solids a bit but still use nutramigen for the baby rice and ready brek xx
