My son is 13 months old and is allergic to ALL diary (right down to butter)and soy. His nutritionist says that his diet is perfect except for his calcium and fat intake since he will no longer drink the special formula.The doc. says he can now have rice milk for the calcium..GREAT! So far the advice I've gotten for Calcium is to have him drink 12 oz. of rice milk a day but there has to be other ways for him to forfill the need too. Also for fats she wants him to have 2 Tbsp. of olive oil added to his diet daily..there must be other options available?? So far other people have told me just to feed him greasy foods and nasty burgers and that's NOT an option. My son eats very healthy and I want to continue that. Does anyone have any other advice on how to get him proper calcium and fat intakes.

Thank you,
Jaime
