Answer: Hi There,
It can get tricky when a little one has a reaction to a food, I am just wondering if baby is able to tolerate low-lactose foods? If you click the link below it will take you to a fact sheet I did on lactose issues and has a chart on low-lactose foods, just in case baby can tolerate them, certainly is easier.

Lactose Intolerance

Failing that, the fabulous sites on allergies might be helpful, many have great recipe books also. They are all good sites and some have helpful tip sheets and recipe books.

• http://www.allergyfacts.org.au/product.html -pretty much the be all and end all on allergy – recipes everything fab site
• http://www.foodallergy.org/allergens/milk.html
• The RPA web site has a fabulous booklet you can download on how to cope with bubs who have a milk allergy you can request a copy of Milk Allergy from allergy@email.cs.nsw.gov.au
• http://www.sch.edu.au/health/factsheets/joint/?egg_allergy.htm

Allergy Recipe Books:

RPA Friendly Food Recipe and Food Intolerance Book from the Allergy Unit at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, Australia www.cs.nsw.gov.au/rpa/allergy/resources/foodintol/friendlyfood.cfm

Anaphylaxis Australia – A recipe book containing 80 recipes free of dairy, egg, wheat and sugar. … Finding allergy–free recipes for those special occasions can be difficult. www.allergyfacts.org.au/product.html

Once baby is onto eggs that will help, but in the meantime, have a look at the list of finger foods on this tip sheet, obviously rule out those with too much lactose or that your bub isnt yet up to.

Finger foods and beyond and healthy eating habits
Snack ideas

I hope that gives you some ideas and hopefully your little one will gain a tolerance (as adults do over time through low exposure, we simply improve our production of lactase over time).

All the best,
Leanne
