My son has a cows milk protein allergy. Diagnosed by our GP at 11m, confirmed by a dietician at 14m who advised we were to stay dairy free for a further 6m due to my sons severe reactions. She advised she would see us in 6 months, assess how he's getting on and potentially start the milk ladder (introducing milk slowly back into his diet). So, he's due to see her in April. Realised this week we havent had an appt. As a side note, I saw a Gynae Dr in Dec and got my follow up appt a week later. Called the dieticians clinic to be told my son is 97th on the waiting list for an appointment and we will get a letter inviting us to call a number to book an appt.
Really quite peeved at this. I dont understand why they say we'll see you in 6ms then actually we will just be stuck onto some waiting list to get a letter to invite us to call for an appt which could be months away! They only hold a clinic per month so essentially, we could be waiting months!
I really wanted to see the dietician in April (my son will be 20m) and start the milk ladder process as we will no longer receive his special formula on prescription, I'm not certain you can even buy it, and even so, my son won't take any other dairy free milk!
