Hi, how are babies fitting in snacks between meals and milk? I feel like there isn't enough time for snacks.

My baby is allergic to eggs, she comes out in hives, etc, but has always been fine with everything else. Recently, she has started coming out in hives when having butter and yoghurt, but no reaction to milk or cheese, which i find strange. Has anyone else experienced this? I assumed if it was dairy, it would be all ...
