I’m Laura, a mammy of 2 boys living in Co. Wexford. Both my boys have cow’s milk protein allergy. The blog is about being a parent of children with a food allergy. I started the blog to share ideas, product information and recipes with other parents of dairy free children. It was a huge learning curve when my first son came off dairy and at the time it was difficult to find much information online. I hope to provide tips to help parents in a similar situation. I’m sure there are plenty of adults out there on dairy free diets too that might enjoy my posts.
The blog is about shopping, cooking and living with dairy free kids and here’s a summary of what you will find here:
Shopping
The blog has a monthly product watch listing new products I’ve found which are dairy free. For seasonal treats such as Easter eggs or Christmas treats I try to provide a comprehensive list of what’s available and where to find and I provide information on shopping for dairy free foods at festivals and abroad. You will find printable sheets for eating out abroad, a list of breakfast cereals and whether they are dairy free, how to read labels to check if something is dairy free and a wealth of other information.
Cooking
The blog features lots of dairy free recipes, some of which are my own and many which are adapted from other recipes.
Living
I write about eating out dairy free, parenting, creche, school, play, keeping lunches healthy, anything else that is going on in life with two small children.
Drop me a line at [email protected] if you would like to contact me to say Hi or to review your product or for any other reason.

Hello
Can you tell me where i can get a list of all the baby food products that are dairy free for a baby 7 months and onwards?
thanks
Tina
Hi Tina,
Your best bet is to e-mail the baby food manufacturers. A lot of the Ella’s Kitchen ones are dairy free, and after that you must check the packets of each one, Organix, Heinz etc, some are dairy free some aren’t. I will do a little research and try to do a post on this soon. I will ask the other readers on facebook also, so have a look on http://www.facebook.com/dairyfreekids hopefully will get some answers for you.
All the best, Laura.
Hi Laura,
Thank you for stopping by my blog, Hill Love, and for the Like and Follow. There is a lot of interesting information here I can use. My youngest has dairy issues too.

Hi there. I’m so relieved to have found a site that is for kids with dairy protein allergy. My son is 14 months and has had this since he was c. 10 months. If was so hard to find anything and not alot of the district nurse knew what to do. Thanks again Jenny
Hi Laura, I am 22 and have only just found out that I am allergic to dairy ( It was a shock!). I was one mortified for letting it go on so long without knowing and two, completely mystified as to how I would manage. Your blog is fantastic. Thank you. Since this started I am starting to see that this is more manageable than I thought. Keep up the good work, your boys are so very lucky (as are we all) to have you!!
Thanks so much Kerry, that’s so nice to hear. Hope you are settling well into it now and feeling better! It is so hard to diagnose, I hope you weren’t suffering an awful lot. Onwards and upwards! Take care!
