Infant Feeding & Cows Milk Allergy Support

At The Allergy Dietitian Clinic, we understand how stressful and overwhelming it can feel when you suspect your baby has a food allergy, especially cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA).

You may feel your concerns aren’t being fully heard, or you’re unsure what to feed your baby safely.

Your baby may have reflux, eczema, bloody or mucousy stools, or be irritable, and you might be exhausted and nutritionally depleted from cutting out multiple foods while breastfeeding.

We are here to listen, support, and guide you step by step with practical, evidence-based advice that protects your baby’s growth and wellbeing while looking after yours.

Breastfeeding and Exclusion Diets

If your baby requires a cow’s milk–free diet, we provide clear guidance on how to safely exclude dairy from your diet while keeping your nutrition balanced and energy levels up. You will feel supported in making sure both you and your baby are getting the nutrients you need.

Infant Formula Guidance

For babies who need formula, we help you choose the most suitable allergy-friendly options, including extensively hydrolysed and amino acid–based formulas. We guide you through with advice and practical feeding tips so you feel confident in providing your baby with safe, nourishing feeds.

Eczema and Allergy Prevention

Infants with eczema are at higher risk of developing food allergies. We provide practical, step-by-step guidance for the early and safe introduction of allergenic foods like peanut and egg to help reduce allergy risk where appropriate.

Introducing Solids with Food Allergies

When it’s time to start solids, we offer tailored advice for your baby’s stage of development, taking allergies, nutritional needs, and your family’s lifestyle into account. We make it simple, practical, and achievable, so you can approach mealtimes with confidence.

Milk Ladder Support

When reintroducing cow’s milk, we guide families through the milk ladder approach, including:

  • When and how to start

  • Safe introduction for each stage

  • Signs to watch for

  • When to pause and seek further guidance
