Since Joshua is dairy-free for the next couple of months—at least. I've been reading up on dairy allergies, and nutritional requirements for toddlers of his age. It's a tricky thing because he's at an age where we are not supposed to limit the amount of fat he gets. Most toddlers get the majority of the fat in their diet from dairy products. Since Joshua is missing that, and he can't chew real hard things well yet (for lack of molars) I am having trouble deciding what to feed him without giving him "bad" fats and high sugar type things.
Even things like white bread, bagels, english muffins, baked goods . . . everything had dairy, or hidden dairy in it. Gah. So far, these are a couple of links I found helpful for any of you who may be curious, or who may encounter this or have encountered this already with your little ones.
