cows milk protein allergy

[littlemissengaged]

ds is 1 and has been told that he's got a cows milk protein allergy today.

he's been given aptimel pepti 1 for his milk replacement but looking for recommendations for shop bought snacks etc please

I give my ds apple flavoured rice cakes, milk free choco buttons, alpro soya yogurts, jelly tots, fruit, ready salted pom bears..
Places like sainsburies and tescos have whole sections of milk free so keep an eye out.
It's really just a case of checking labels though.

Read labels and buy the same stuff! I think Tesco value bourbons are dairy free, value garlic bread is, a lot of the cheaper stuff is as they use marge not butter, I have had no success cooking with pepti so use alpro junior. Also, ds' dietician said he should be on pepti 2 from 6m as it has extra vitamins/minerals to support dairy free weaning/diet! Good luck

Have you seen a dietician? They gave us a list of foods containing the cmp which made it easier.

no were getting an appointment but its roughly a 12 week wait.

been told to remove All dairy and replace with soya products and to keep a food diary

Please tread carefully with soya. Lots of children with cows milk protein allergy are also allergic to soya protein.

My 11 month old DS (diagnosed 5 weeks ago) was advised to swap to soya then had an allergic reaction to a soya yoghurt.
