Answer 1

Hi there --- It is normal for babies/kids to be allergic to cows milk. I would suggest you find FRESH goat's milk at a goat farm if at all possible. You can pasteruize the milk you get if you wanted to.... People report they are not allergic to goats milk. Primarily because they have the same PH as humans.
Cows milk has fat molcules that is hard to digest while goats milk are smaller and easier to digest.

My son was Lactose intolerant i.e: he could not have cows milk - this lasted until he was 3 years old - now he is OK. At the time the doctors and paediatrician recommended Soya milk as the only alternative as Goats milk would still set off the reaction AND cause him to become allergic permanent! Amazon.co.uk have a great selection of book eg: 101 fabulous dairy free recipes, Everyday dairy free recipes etc - just do a search on site for "lactose free" and they bring out their selection. P.S: i do not work for Amazon just think it is a great site to get book titles and books

Answer 3

my oldest son had all kinds of allergies when little, and I gave him goat's milk. If there's no farm around where you can get it directly, then go to a health food store, and find out what exact day and time the goat milk is delivered there. Should be at least once a week. Then you can buy it totally fresh, buy enough for a week, and freeze it. Goat's milk is raw and unpasterized, so freezing it will keep it fresh. Just take out a carton at night for the next day and keep it in the fridge. There's also ice cream made with goat's milk. My son drank goat's milk as a baby, and used it in place of milk til he was about 10 years old. He's a healthy strapping young adult now, stands 6' 1", with no allergies. They tend to outgrow those allergies. But in the meantime, just know that goat's milk cannot be beat for a child who is allergic to regular milk. In recipes, just use the Goat's milk in place of regular milk, cup for cup. Goat's milk is a bit sweeter than cow's milk, my son liked the taste. ;)

Answer 6

Hi

My website has a lot of vegan recipes which use soya milk instead of cows milk. We have quite a range of baked items most without sugar so they are healthy for kids.

Almond Slices

Ingredients

200g margarine
400g white self raising flour
50g ground almonds
2tsp almond essence
200ml soya milk
50g sugar (if desired)
raspberry jam
flaked almonds


Melt the margarine in the microwave and add to the sugar and mix well. Then add the flour, ground almonds and almond essence. Mix with your hands until it is the consistancy of fine breadcrumbs. Then add the soya milk and stir throughly.

Spread the mixture out onto a greased baking tray and place in a preheated oven (gas mark 7) for 15 minutes (the mixture will just be starting to change colour).

Take out of the oven and spread throughly with raspberry jam. Then top with the flaked almonds. Put back into the oven for 5 minutes until the almonds start to brown.

Cut into thin slices and serve.

Fruit Cake

Ingredients

400g self raising flour
100g margarine
200g sultanas
2 teaspoons mixed spice
300ml sweetened soya milk

Preheat the oven to gas mark 7.

Combine the flour, spice and margarine in a bowl and mix together with your fingers until it has a breadcrumb like consistancy.

Wash the sultanas in hot water to rehydrate them. Drain and allow to cool and then add to the mix. Stir with a spoon and add the soya milk 100ml at a time until you have a fairly runny mixture that is still sticking together.

Put into a pan that has been greased and put in the hot oven for 20 minutes.

Delicious served hot with soya cream.

If this cake isn't sweet enough you can substitute 100ml of the soya milk with 50ml of apple juice, or top it with 'butter' cream made by mixing margarine with sugar or sweetner. I also add food colouring to my butter cream if I'm making the cake with the children (although they seem to prefer the taste of the cake before it is cooked).

Fruit Scones
Ingredients

50g margarine
100g self-raising flour
handful sultanas
soya milk


Rub the margarine into the flour to make crumbs. Stir in the sultanas and add enough milk to form a soft dough. Roll out the dough thickly and cut out with a pastry cutter. Put these onto a greased baking sheet. Brush the top of the scones with soya milk and bake into the oven until golden brown on top.

Serve with vegan margarine and strawberry jam.

Answer 7

My son had a lactose intolerance and I substituted the milk for powdered soya milk, only be careful because soya milk contains more natural sugars that can rot baby's teeth. No need for different recipe then.

Answer 8

Sorry to contradict the other person, but please DON'T use goats milk, this has a very similar protein form to cows milk and can be just as allergic. As can sheep milk.
(If his parents are having problems with milk get them to go to your doctor request NEOCATE or PEPTI-JUNIOR or their recommended formula. Get a referral to a nutrionist. You need to ensure his calcium is kept up).
For cooking I would use OATLY with added calcium. Avoid soya milk until he is much older. Oatly can be bought in Waitrose, health food shops Tesco do the calcium free version. It can be used just like milk, though it doesn't make good hot chocolate!

Answer 9

Goat milk in recipes in the same quantities is delicious and much more easy to digest and also easier on the sinuses. Poor little mite, I know what it feels like.

Answer 10

I know that people allergic to cow's milk use goat's milk instead and it works out vey well.
