MSPI baby recipe ideas

Backstory: I went milk, soy, eggs, nuts, wheat and corn free for my baby because of a pretty severe amount of blood in poop. I wouldn’t recommend such strict diet but I thought I will share recipes I used that are void of the most common allergens and are tasty and diverse. I also went pretty low on rice, fish and sesame based on my food diary but have recipes that include those ingredients. It was hard and took a lot of planning so hopefully this list will help somebody who is just starting this journey. I also tried to buy grass fed everything except for pork, sometimes chicken. Even if you don’t eliminate everything, it might be easier for your baby to recover quicker with these meals.

Tips: 

  • Make your own broth to avoid headache of choosing one in the grocery store (I would freeze vegetable scraps like garlic inner skins, onion inner yellow skins, fennel, dill, parsley, use a whole celery and sometimes a carrot, also chicken bones and skins from chicken thighs and any other bones, throw it all in the pot and boil for like 3 hours with a little bit of apple cider vinegar for bones to break down). I stored it in souper cubes in the freezer, pricey but very handy containers 
  • Make sure to buy soy free pepper paste - I used Thai Kitchen brand, it’s not too spicy and even my toddler eats it in dishes
  • Make sure your mustard doesnt have natural flavor or citric acid (they do exist)
  • Coconut aminos is a decent substitute for soy sauce but it’s much sweeter 
  • Make sure sausage you buy doesn’t have natural flavors (although eventually my girl was able to tolerate it)
  • Always have spinach and kale on hand for easily tolerated calcium. If you buy milk, like oat or almond, try to buy calcium enriched but I still took a calcium supplement (soy free)
  • Quinoa, millet and buckwheat were on a heavy rotation for me. I suspected rice allergy so excluded rice for a while, and those grains are a great substitute and also a good breakfast. 
  • Potatoes is a decent side dish, my husband made it with olive oil and lemon juice and dill, actually quite tasty. But otherwise asparagus, Swiss chard can be a good side dish.
