What foods can I give if my child is allergic to dairy?

Cows’ milk and other dairy products are an important source of energy, protein and calcium for growing children. The table shows common food and drinks that contain cows’ milk and suggests appropriate substitutions to provide your baby with the energy and nutrients they need for growth and development. You might like to see a dietitian for more practical advice about ensuring good nutrition for your child. Also, remember that milk or milk products are often found in unlikely products, so it’s important to carefully read all ingredient labels and avoid any foods that contain cows’ milk, unless advised by your healthcare professional.
