Baby accidentally had cheese

(Baby is 8 months) not had any cows milk since 8 weeks.
I bought some spaghetti bolognese pouches and didn’t realise they had 2% cheddar cheese. I told my partner do not serve those as they contain cheese. Specifically told him before I went out to my appointment this afternoon. I come home and he’s feeding her the pouch! I was absolutely mortified to say the least as I literally had just mentioned it before I went out. She has had half a pouch. Has anyone else done this by accident??? It says online to look out for reactions but she’s due to go bed soon and she was having this at about 6:30pm.

Hi Mikayla, I am allergic to milk. I can tell you an anaphylactic reaction happens very quickly.

Sometimes I can feel my tongue start to swell as I’m chewing. Other times it can take 10-15 minutes before I start to notice symptoms.

Has your child been diagnosed with a milk allergy?

Accidents happen. We’re all human. One of my twins swiped some crisps from my eldest with milk in them. We just carried on as normal and there was no reaction. Quite often one off exposures don’t result in symptoms especially if you have been milk free for so long as there’s a good chance of outgrowing cmpa

Childminder or nursery

I’ve noticed that most people in the UK talk about nurseries and how expensive they are, but hardly anyone mentions childminders. From what I understand, childminders are often more affordable, more flexible (for example, if you need to pick up your child a bit later), and they provide a more home-like environment.

They also usually involve a single main caregiver, which I feel can be really positive for attachment, especially for younger children.

So why don’t more people use childminders? Is there any stigma around them in the UK?

I’m asking because my baby goes to a childminder and I’m starting to worry—are they seen as a worse option? Personally, I see some downsides to nurseries too: they tend to be more expensive, and because there are many more children (often of different ages) in the same space, I feel like that can lead to a higher risk of illnesses spreading.

So I’m curious why nurseries seem to be the more popular choice.

Nursery costs

How much do you pay a month for nursery? And for how many hours?

Advice please - I need to approach work about asking for flexibility in school holidays

My little boy is due to start pre school in September and at the moment I work 3days a week but during the holidays I probably will only be able to get childcare for maybe 1 or 2 at the most.

How do I go about speaking to work, feel like im being such a pain asking?

Childcare for toddler during labour

For those of you who don't have any family or friends nearby enough to jump in to look after your older child, how did you manage labour and going to hospital to give birth? I'm only 5 weeks pregnant but already stressing about it!

Solids/food

Guys, where are we all standing on starting to introduce foods? My little one is nearly 5months and is really interested in food. My sister gave her a taste of a quaver on the weekend and I've never seen her so eager and happy. I dont know what to do

Sausages

Has anyone given their little one sausages yet? Mines 9 month old and I want to try him with them but they are not recommended as high in salt. Has anyone found a good brand?
