So we’ve made it to step 5 on the milk ladder, shepherds pie. I’m confused as to how often I’m supposed to give it to him?? Is it every day? We had to skip the step before as he doesn’t like scotch pancakes and will only have a bite if I am eating them on the odd occasion. He’d just refuse them if I gave them to him😂 I’m thinking he will be the same with the shepherds pie as he only seems to like potato in chip form🤣 any advice?

This is not an answer to your question but I just have a question about the milk ladder. How long do you stay on each step?

Make up a batch for him and give him some for lunch each day for as long as your required to stay on each step xx

it all depends if your baby has ige or non ige symptoms. Ige is 7 days each step non ige is 3 days x

our dietitian had told us a couple of months on each step🤷🏼♀️ so that’s what I’ve been doing

our dietitian told us a couple of months on each step! Seems like a lot of shepherds pie to eat🤣

thank you!

that a really long time and really bizarre! Usually it's 3-7 days depending on the type of allergy and then 8 weeks wait if they react x

did you get all this info from your allergist? I asked mine about the milk ladder and all he said was “sure, you can start by giving him a baked good with dairy in it” 🫠

I did we've been under a dietician since my son was 4 weeks old and hes just starting the imap milk ladder he's got severe symptoms so we need to do 7 days per step and she said regardless of 3 or 7 days it's an 8 weeks wait between a reaction and resuming again xx
