Growing out of a milk allergy

3 replies

My now 17 mth old ds was diagnosed with egg and milk allergy at 6 months after baby porridge brought him out in hives. We cut dairy totally from his diet until 12 mths when we saw a dietician, had proper allergy testing and started a milk introduction programme.

All is going ok, ds can now eat a whole malted milk biscuit with no reaction and we've progressed to him eating shop bought cake and pancakes (no icing) and mini cheddars!

This is all exciting but the next step is to introduce cooked cheese and licks of yogurt. Should I do cheese on toast? I can't really think of anything else to do? Pizza?

Has anyone else done a milk introduction programme? What worked for you?

Parmesan biscuits are good to start with I believe? As cheese on toast might not get the cheese cooked enough IYSWIM.
I'm not quite where you are but when we tried unsuccessfully to reintroduce eggs we had to do cake instead of pancakes eg, as it was cooked for longer?

If that makes sense Grin

That makes perfect sense, thank you! I'm sorry to hear about your failed egg introduction though, what happened?

Cooked cheese is things that you make in the oven, lasagne or cottage pie or fish pie. Anything with cheese on top and it has to be cooked for at least half an hour.

Cheese on toast is melted cheese, which is the next stage after cooked cheese.

We were told to start with cooked milk before cooked cheese (for example lasagne or fish pie without the cheese).

That's the plan the dietician gave us.
