I’m a dietitian and I’ve done some work with pediatrics and have a lot of experience with formulas considering that account executives are always dealing with us every month in clinical dietetics.
There’s nothing wrong with whey protein and I was about to point out that most enteral formulas for kids and tube feedings contain whey protein. After all, it’s the most easily digested and cheapest of proteins.

Cheers Bricknyce for the info.
How much whey could you safely use if you were adding it to for example a bowel of oats? I was thinking along the lines of 2.5g or 5g and THATS IT! Again it is just to bolster his protein consumption until he gets back on track. What do you think?

Organic vegetables (carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, peas), water, organic sunflower oil.
Well you guys are right, the cheap shit is crap. thats true and thats why quality has it’s price

I know you are concerned about your child but you really seem to be micro-managing. I kinda get the feeling you want your baby to grow to be a giant.
That being said I don’t see the problem with adding a conservative amount of whey protein to a glass of milk.

You got your feelings all wrong there my friend, I dont want a ‘giant’ just a healthy little kid! I’m not one of those crazy parents whose sole purpose in life is the nurturing of the perfect uber child, far from it! As long as the little fella is happy and healthy then all is fine with me…
(Not being smart) Do you have kids?
I would not do it.
Human breast milk is relatively low in protein, and has to be considered the model for infant nutrition and to some extent toddlers, though by your son’s age there would ordinarily be some additional foods, as you are providing. Going radically far off of the macronutrient composition (ratio of protein to fat to carbs) of breast milk when preparing a replacement milk doesn’t make sense to me.
The dairy milk you are, I suppose, using is already much higher in protein than breast milk is. So there’s no reason to add yet more.

Thanks Bill for the insight.
I am reluctant to add anything to his diet other than whole foods but since he stopped eating as much as he normally does I got worried’ and was looking for ‘safe’ ways to give him a ‘little’ extra without compromising his health.
As this will inevitably sort itself out because he is at ‘that age’ I’ll keep persisting with aeroplanes n choo choos for now. The battle of wills continues…
