For Moms With Babies With A Milk Allergy?
Posted by: Alan in Milk Allergies, tags: Allergy, Babies, Milk, Moms, With
What did you do for their first birthday cake? Our (soon to be) 11 month old daughter was recently diagnosed with a severe milk allergy, so we are steering clear of anything with milk in it for a long time. I was soooo looking forward to having a picture of her smearing her cake and icing all over herself, but unfortunately that’s not going to happen. I’ve heard of making a little jello cake out of a jello mold and giving her that to play with and eat, but wanted to hear other ideas too. Thanks!!

Banana bread!!! and Pillsbury iceing! Neither one has milk!! HA HA my daughter too was lactose intolerant, and thats what we made her!! And the banana bread is better for them anyway! And you’ll still get your cute little “cake smashin pictures’ lol!
Happy early birthday to her!

There are many ways to make cakes without using any milk. I have a milk, egg, and gluten allergy and was still able to eat things like cake, frosting, pancakes, etc. You should be able to find some recipes online, or for sure find a milk-free cookbook online that you can buy. There are definitely ways around it. A jello cake isn’t the same as a real cake!

Many commercial brownie mixes are dairy free. My son had a dairy intolerance for about 8 months, so I had to be 100% dairy free for nursing. Brownies were a life-saver when I needed something sweet!
