I think if you're not going to give him cow's milk, you do need to supplement his fat intake. I nursed my DD until she weaned (sadly) about a month ago. I still supplemented her fat intake though. I mainly use flax seed, almond butter and avocados. We eat a very low fat vegan diet. You could also try using a stage 2 formula (it would have cow's milk in it though). If it were me, I would do rice milk and make sure he gets extra fat in his diet until the age of 2.
My DD has oatmeal every morning. I put a scoop of almond butter, scoop of flax seed in it and I use rice milk to prepare it. She's getting a nice bit of fat from that each day.
Sorry if this was all over the place! I'm in a hurry but wanted to write you something! :o) Welcome to the board!!!!!!!!!! You should check out our recipes for some new inspiration!!!!!!!! :o) Hope to see you around more!!!!!!!!
