Milk allergy

Have you been advised about starting the milk ladder? Personally, I’m going to keep him on formula past 1 years old as I don’t see the benefit of giving him a bottle of oat milk or coconut milk etc. are you still able to get your formula prescribed?
You should’ve seen a dietician who would’ve advised you to start the milk ladder or do the milk challenge depending on the severity of her allergy but to be told to go onto cows milk straight away is really bad advice and it isn’t the HV position to give that advice x
We are going to start using the KOKO kids milk, I think it’s coconut based and has more calcium in it than cows milk!
We used the Alpro oat growing up milk then swapped to Lidl barista as it had the same fat value. A dietician is amazing for us but I literally argued with the GP that I needed the help.
What silly advice from the HV, if she has a milk allergy she isn’t going to be able to have cows milk 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Oat milk? That’s what a lot of dairy allergy little ones move on to.
