CMPA and dietician referral NHS

[Sjx424]

Hi, my son has been placed on SMA Alfamino and has been referred to the NHS dieticians. He has his appointment in December when he’ll be 4.5 months old and from what I can see this is a group session on weaning and following a cows milk free diet. Does any one know what happens after this? Do I do the milk ladder alone or will we have further appointments/tests with the dietician? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I haven't had a DC with CMPA luckily although I do have it myself.

I would t expect this to be the only session, I would want to do the milk ladder with the support of a Paediatrician at 12 months plus. You could always ask in the session what further support is offered

In my area it’s cmpa weaning session online….then milk ladder appt at 11 months….ready to start at 12 months

My son was years ago but I got a phone call as she wasn't in clinic on my appointment day, and she sent some leaflets

To be honest I switched off when she told me I would have to give up b/f
