#013: What if my baby has a milk allergy or can’t eat dairy foods? The only way to know if your baby is allergic to cow’s milk protein is to offer them that food. In this episode we look at milk allergy and how to prevent it, including the easiest way to offer your baby this potentially allergenic food and why it’s particularly important for exclusively breastfed babies.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. The one single thing you can do to lower your baby’s risk of cow’s milk protein allergy (...which is the most common pediatric food allergy)

2. Why exclusively breastfed babies especially benefit from early introduction of milk foods

3. How to pick the best type of yogurt for self-feeding and why you can totally skip baby food yogurts
