Hi. I'm new to this forum and really looking forward to getting to know you all!<br><br>
I'm hoping you guys have some suggestions for me, as I am really at a loss for protein ideas for my DD, 15 months. She has soy and dairy allergies, possibly eggs and nuts (we're holding off on those right now). Clearly this really limits her sources for protein. She still nurses at least 4 times a day, so I'm not too worried, but obviously as she nurses less it will be more important that we provide her plenty of sources of protein. She loves her fruits, veggies, and any carbohydrate I put in front of her.<br><br>
The only sources of protein she eats regularly are oatmeal, whole grain bread and pasta, the occasional Quorn product (though I try to limit the processed meat substitutes), lentils and beans. I need to start preparing brown or wild rice for her. Am I missing anything? I've only made quinoa once, and it was awful. Her solids intake is still pretty low overall.<br><br>
Thank you!
