My son went from breast milk to pediasure at 1 yr old and is still on at 5 yrs old. He loves it and it really helps with his weight.

Rice Dream Enriched (has the same vitamins as milk) milk. Their dairy-like treats are great too. If you want to add calories to the Rice Dream you can add a little bit of walnut oil/canola oil to it or even a little coconut milk and their are also Rice Protein powders which can add more protein (though our son hated the powder).
I wouldn't use a ton of soy as this can cause issues in CFer's as well. We strive for a nice blend of some soy products and just great foods - something like 2 slices of soy cheese, 2-3 glasses of Enriched Rice milk, a bit of soy sour cream with veggies, and the rest comes from foods rich in calories and not high in any oils that cause inflammation. From 1year to 18 months, we felt it was important to help him drink less of his calories (at that time breastmilk) and start trying to go for 5-6 small meals a day with no drinking in between. I gradually started nursing him after a meal instead of before and only offering sippy cups of Rice milk after he ate. This seemed to pack on the pounds and helped keep his appetite strong before meals.
Our son still can't eat dairy...it just does a number on his tummy and butt. Again, I think variety of foods and shifting thinking away from the drinks being a primary source of calories is helpful. As he get a little older you can have fun with power smoothies.
Best of luck...Jody

There is also a good book called Allergy Free Cooking for Kids by Savill.

ashton went through a phase of really watery stool and not gaining and while he was in the hospital with salmonella they did a colonoscpy and said that he may be allergice to milk by the eosinophils they saw in his colon but this could be from the salmonella but for that time we went with the allergy and ive got the alimentum formula here to try him on but i was just thinking skip that and try milk since hes not going to be on formula much longer anyway

We tried Ethan Sky on pediasure for about 2 days and stopped. He was on a complete sugar high!!! And in really thinking about the possibilities of our CFers developing diabetes, I want Ethan to learn at an early age to enjoy things without all the sugary flavor to it... So....after much fighting and talking with our nutritioninst, we were recommended to try 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 half and half. He absolutely loves it and its help keep the pounds arising.....The awesome thing is that Sams Club sells half and half at a wonderful price also.....

Hi Christi-
We switched Caleb from formula to whole milk right at his 1 yr birthday. However, our nutritionist at the CF clinic put him on a higher kcal recipe for the whole milk. We put 1 tbsp of heavy whipping cream w/every 8 8oz of whole milk. I do use organic milk...just because I don't want all the other stuff in his milk. We just pick it up from our local grocery store. Hope this works for you. Hope Ashton does okay with the milk.
