Even though lactose has a wide range of benefits, some kids do have allergies to them. This might be because of various reasons, but it is better to have a one-to-one convo with the doctor to have confirmation about this. You will get to know about this when you frequently feel while giving milk products that have sugar in them; They will face problems like indigestion, vomiting, etc. Babies less than 6 months old are not advised to give cow-based milk, and it is always better to start after one year of age. If you continuously feel that the baby is not feeling well whenever they consume lactose or lactose-related products, then it is better to avoid them.

Here are some of the healthy lactose-free baby recipes that are healthy and yum at the same time:

1. Nut-Based Milk

Nut-based products like almonds, cashews, etc can be consumed in the form of milk. Just add a handful of nuts to a blender, with a glass of water. Blend them well, and you will be able to get the milk. Now strain and you can store for 2 to 3 days at the maximum. Also do not waste the nut scrubs; These can be dried and used in cookies, or any other roti or chapati.

2. Spinach Quiche:

Add oil to a pan, and fry the onions until they are transparent. Now add salt and spinach pieces, and fry them. Now add the eggs and any nut-based milk of your choice. You can just place them in the oven and bake for 10 min or tawa fry them. One of the healthy and instant recipes that you can use for lactose-free toasts or quiches. You can top them with chilli flakes or any herbs of your choice

3. Shakes with Coconut Milk:

Coconut milk is one of the healthy drinks that can be used as a substitute for any other kind of nut-based milk. Shakes are one of the best and healthier breakfast options which can be preferred during late schedules too. Freeze any fruits of your choice like banana, Chikko, apple, etc. In the morning add the frozen fruits, dates or any sugar as a sweetener, one glass of coconut milk, and blend them. One of the yummiest shakes that you can drink as a healthy breakfast too.

4. Tofu Fry:

In terms of paneer, you can choose Tofu which is also one healthier option to go with. This cannot be done at home since it is quite a hectic and lengthy process compared to paneer. Get your hand on this tofu fry or tofu Manchurian which is also a healthier option to go with.

5. Cashew Cheese:

One of the favourite things that can be added to pizza, sandwiches, etc. Compared to milk-based cheese and store-bought ones, cashew cheese is a perfect and healthier option to go with. Just add enough cashews and water in a mixer. Adding water little by little will make them cheesy and tasty at the same time.

6. Multigrain Crackers:

In an oval bowl, add half a cup of wheat flour, one-fourth cup of bajra flour, and one-fourth cup of jowar flour. Now add a tablespoon of flaxseed powder. Now add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of oil of your choice. Mix the ingredients well. 

Add drops of water, and get them into rolling consistency. Cut them into pieces, and you can bake them for 15 min in a preheated oven of 180 deg celsius.

7. White Rice:

Rice does not contain any sources of milk. So you can add white rice to your kid’s lunch menu. Any healthy sabzi or gravy filled with veggies or dals could make their lunch one healthier option. You can make rice kanji for babies in their 6 to 8 months. And then gradually add rice which is ground in a mixer or smashed well with the help of hands.

8. Chicken & Eggs:

Since both are one healthy source of protein, adding them would be a better option. Eggs can be given daily either in the form of omelettes or boiled. Half an egg would be more than enough, and you can slowly increase the quantity. When you are introducing chicken, give them in the form of stew or soup and then give them pieces, which are well cooked.

Oats are also one of the healthiest and easier foods to try with. If you are in a rush or hurry and want an instant recipe, this oat milk or oat chilla may be the best choice to go with. You can even make oat-based cookies on the weekend and have one or two when you are in a hurry.
