Actually to me "lactose free" margarine sounds almost like "meat free carrots". Yes, they put interesting things in some of the margarines, I hope there isn't any little kittens in that one then either....

As such, I don't think there is anything wrong with the brand.

(Personally I would prefer oil or butter and if the kid is getting reasonable amount of fat with milk, on bread, cooking oils or in meat or fish I would not start deliberately add fat to it. Likewise if he looks healthy and eats well I would not worry about bit low weight)

The problem wit my kid is he does not have enough milk and I feel he is not getting enough fat as well.
The nutritionist said that the butter in Finalnd have bad fatty acids(Trans Fats or Hydrogenated Fats or Saturated fats....dono if they r the right terms for bad fatty acids) compared to margarine. Tha's why she asked me not to give butter :( .

Does not have enough milk..? I do not quite understand.
and I feel he is not getting enough fat as well.
There is still the oil with cooking and fat in meat or fish.

Because fat in butter is solid enough to begin with it does not need to hydrogenated. The opinions vary between margarine and butter; I'll probably see a few changes of point view in my remaining life time. Olive oil and fat from fish seem to me as the safest bets for fats which will not be proven unhealthy (when consumed in reasonable quantities) within the next 50 years.

As such the Keiju 70% is probably reasonable enough as a food stuff. (Almost) what ever you give him, he's highly unlikely to get a heart attack for quite a many decades to come...
