We went to see a dietician yesterday about Minky's diet. She was excellent. She's writing an allegy document for the area and is starting an MSc in allergies in January. So, I feel lucky that we got her. She was happy that Minky was getting enough calcium from breastmilk alone - which was my main concern. She did say there was no evidence that leaving dairy longer than six months helped prevent allergies. She also didn't have an opinion on an order in which to introduce dairy (so I shall use the order above!). I'm a bit more confident about introducing Minky to dairy now. At the same time, I don't feel that there is a big rush to do, now that I know I'm not depriving her of calcium. I guess this means I can be nice and calm about it, which will be much better for her. Wheat-wise, it was suggested I do it sooner rather than later in case Minky doesn't like it. I'm not as bothered about introducing wheat, so we'll get round to it at some point. Plus, if she doesn't like it then she doesn't have to eat it. The other foods we're avoiding (like fish, nuts and citrus) can be left for later. She didn't feel Minky was missing out by not having them. I was also a bit worried about protein intake given that Minky's not a big meat fan. Apparently they need 1.5g/kg, so about 12g a day if you're a tiny Mink. That'll teach me to read certain weaning books which state they have to have 50g of meat a day. Honestly, why I haven't ritually burnt that book in the garden, I'll never know... All in all, I felt that I had made the right choices for my daughter for the right reasons - and we all want to feel like that, don't we?
