Hi - quick introduction

Im Katy, mum to Elliot who is CMPA (Cows milk protein allergy).  We were very lucky as this was diagnosed when he was 9 weeks old after first suspecting a lactose intolerance.  We ended up in hospital with Elliot and a blood test revealed his allergy.

He was put straight onto Neocate, a hypoallergenic formula and has come on so much since starting it.  We have just hit the 6 month mark and have been given the go ahead for weaning.  It's a minefield out there as so many foods have milk protein in, there are different names for milk protein and a lot of baby food has it in.

So we are starting from scratch, everything will be home made and i'll be hunting the internet for recipes, ideas and hopefully will be able to share them with you.

We are also avoiding soya, nuts, shellfish and wheat at the moment as they are popular allergens too.
