No dairy or soy

Poor mama! I'm sorry you're going through this. And thank you for breastfeeding your little one! Have you tried almond milk or rice milk as an alternative to cow's milk and soy? All vegetables are game, meats, beans, fruits, grains, rice. Maybe some crockpot meals? Check out skinnytaste.com. She has some recipes that are quick and categorized. Good luck with everything.

Breastfeeding baby she doesn't digest dairy or soy hurts her tummy so I have to cut out of my diet. Any recipes without those that are quick and easy to make? Lack of sleep makes me almost useless in kitchen right now.

Was on an milk and soy elimination for a couple of years total, since two of my kids had also the same issue. What worked for me was using almond, hazelnut or rice milk. Almond and hazelnut to drink or to add in coffee, cereal etc and rice milk for cooking.
As the baby gets older, experiment with goat milk, cheese and yoghurt. Goat milk is naturally lower in casein and casein breaks down in the process of making cheese and yoghurt, so the baby might tolerate these in your diet. Try every month or so, a little at a time. Most babies outgrow this gradually after a few months.

Hemp milk generally has a better macro profile than rice or almond, which have little to no protein. There are lots of recipes that do not use dairy or soy. Think of making your meal as a protein+carb+veggies. Protein can be any lean meat or you can combine protein and carbs like rice and beans, carbs like potato or pasta, veggies can be anything (I eat a lot of broccoli, zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, cabbage, and wait for asparagus to go on sale). Spaghetti with meat sauce is an easy meal to incorporate everything in one dish. Dark leafy greens are another source of calcium as well as fortified orange juice.

Try unsweetened cashew milk for a dairy replacement in recipes. Its freaking delicious and works well in savory and sweet dishes.


The easiest thing i can think of for you to do is to sit down and nake a list of all your fav meals to make. Reread the list and cross out those that include dairy that cant ealisy be omitted. Youll end up with a list of meals you can rotate.

When reading labels, remember that dairy gas LOTS of names. And some varieties from the same manufacturer may be ok while others are not. For example, the centrella brand pasta sauce...the marinara is dairy and soy free....but the garden veggie pasta sauce has soy and the meat sauce has both dairy and soy!

also, if your daughter is lactose intollerant, but not alergic to dairy, you may be able to use ghee since the milk solids have been removed. Many who are lactose intolerant are ok with ghee, me and my oldest included.

Message me if you want to chat....ive been there with elimination diets!

Get great calcium from dark green leafy veggies and canned salmon (eat the soft bones). Now I'm wondering if that was what was wrong with my baby. But that was 1984 and he's grown!

If you like soy sauce, Bragg's Amino Acids works great in place of it.
