Ds is 8. He was tested as a baby for a milk allergy (positive) and retested at 4 (positive). He was retested a few weeks back and it was found to be ok for him to try milk reintroduction (decided by his paediatrician). So we were given a sheet of paper with the milk ladder on it and told to come back in four months.
So, we did week 2 where ds was given biscuits with milk in. He started having a bit of reflux and smelly wind. Was told by paediatrician to skip the next two steps as they involved egg products (ds is allergic) so the next step was mash with milk in. He had that and had stomach aches that kept him up at night and then diarrhoea.
My question is- how much supervision should we be having on this? Because the paediatrician is unreliable (kept cancelling our appointments for months and then once didn’t even tell us so we turned up at the hospital to be told he wouldn’t be there. Oh and it took three phone calls by me for him to eventually ring me back a week later) so I can’t get hold of him to keep asking if we should give up or what.
The milk ladder sheet says it should be done under supervision of a dietician.
