#131: What do you do if your baby is diagnosed with a cow’s milk protein allergy just as you’re starting solid foods?
While most babies can safely eat dairy, cow’s milk protein allergy is one of the most common food allergies in infancy. If dairy is off the table, it can suddenly feel like everything you planned to feed your baby needs to change.
In this episode, I’m joined by The Allergy Chef, Kathlena, to share practical tips for cooking and preparing dairy-free foods for your baby. You’ll learn how to read food labels with more confidence, understand allergen statements, and make simple dairy-free swaps for ingredients like milk, yogurt, cheese, cream, and buttermilk so you can continue offering a wide variety of safe, nutritious foods as your baby learns to eat.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. How to make simple dairy-free swaps for milk, yogurt, cheese, cream, and buttermilk when preparing foods for your baby.
2. What food labels and allergen statements really mean—and how to shop with more confidence if your baby has a cow’s milk protein allergy.
3. Why dairy-free cooking doesn’t have to limit the variety of foods your baby can safely enjoy while starting solid foods.
