Milk Protein Allergy Moms
It seems there are few of us who have DC that have an allergy to milk protein.
Why don't we share what foods we have found that are safe for our DC to eat.
I'm just starting the finger food stage and I'm giving DD something that is triggering a reaction.
So far she's had:
banana
watermelon
cheerios
sweet potato puffs
apple wagon wheels (I just learned that this product does contain a milk protein.)

Re: Milk Protein Allergy Moms
I think I may have given Ryan something too - he had 7 poops at daycare yesterday. They changed him every 1-1.5 hrs and he had such abad diaper rash and is so cranky.
I gave him a little hot dog roll over the wkend (the dr. siad to try and introduce stuff and if he has a reaction, stop it obviously)
Oh and they gave him graham crackers in his new room which could have done it also...
but here's what he does eat:
LOTS and LOTS of Cheerios
apple/cinnamon and sweet pot. puffs
dried apple bits (gerber?)
Brown rice
tater tots
canteloupe
string beans cut up
banana
he spit out chicken
I know Pop Tarts are safe - albeit mostly sugar....he hasnt had them yet but will at daycare...

Re: Milk Protein Allergy Moms
 a little off, Josh has milk/soy protein allergy, so I have been trying to make food that is okay for me(he BFs) to prepare for table foods time.
I make pancakes from scratch using rice milk.
I also bread everything in pretzels(most breadcrumbs have whey or milk in them)
baked sweet potato fries(most frozen foods have something bad in them)
ETA: I have found that Arnold's Wheat select is the most ingrediant free for hamburger/hotdog buns.
But find a good healthfood store, the variety makes all the difference.
Also, if hannah still seems bothered, take soy away from her diet and see if that makes a difference.

Re: Milk Protein Allergy Moms
4C Kosher breadcrumbs are safe for milk/egg allergic - but they must be the KOSHER label - Super Stop & Shop in Amityville carries them...

Re: Milk Protein Allergy Moms
One of our favorites when DS was in the early finger foods stage was Vans Waffles (the ones that specifically say dairy free).

I'm new to reading labels so maybe I'm wrong, but my label has a "D" next to the U and my ped said to stay away from any label that has a "D". The only thing in the ingredients that could contain milk protein is the natural flavorings.
OK more questions:
Is SOY dairy free? Can I just give her soy yogurt and cheese?

No!!! Not necessarily. My DS had a horrible reaction to veggie shreds which contain milk.
eta: i think soy yogurt is okay, but my DS won't eat it so I don't buy it. I think some brands of soy cheese might be okay. Whole Foods has a good selection. Whole Foods also has a vegan margarine I think called Healthy Sticks.
Here's a list of Brendan's regular menu:
pancakes or waffles (made from one of the complete mixes that you just have to add water-Shop Rite and Walmart's brands are both dairy free)
plain oatmeal ( i usually mix in some fruit)
thomas' or pepperige farm mini bagels
toast (most breads don't have dairy)
eggs
cheerios, kix, rice chex, Puffs
a whole variety of fruits and veggies
chicken, ground turkey, beef
if i bread anything or use bread crumbs i also use the 4C Kosher bread crumbs
cold cuts
pasta, rice, couscous, orzo
pretzels
graham crackers
triscuits
nabisco arrowroot cookies
Beechnut banana cookies
Gerber Graduates chicken soup, chicken stew, or turkey stew ( i think these are the only varieties that don't have dairy)
Healthy Times brand makes a bunch of foods that are dairy free.
I know these are mostly table foods, but I figure you'll need these eventually. When we first started with finger foods it was mostly puffs, cheerios, small pieces of fruits and veggies, ditalini pasta, small pieces of toast.

The carrot ones definitely do contain milk. I thought they said nonfat dry milk? I can't remember. I had a container that I threw out after realizing they had milk. Does is say whey or cassein? Those are both milk products.

Re: Milk Protein Allergy Moms
The D next to the U could mean there is milk somewhere in the factory. Don't go by the Kosher symbols - go by the ingredient label - it's the safest way.
If your dr. said to avoid anything with the D it means that they are unsure how sensitive your child is to even the minutest trace of milk protein, so in that case you'll be avoiding things that may or may not actually contain milk. You'll also have to avoid any product that the ingredient label says "may contain traces of milk".
Be careful with soy yogurt and cheeses many do contain milk proteins.
Safe soy yogurt is WholeSoy.
Safe soy cheese is Tofutti.
Tofutti also makes amazing milk-free ice creams, frozen pizzas, cream cheese, and sour cream that are all safe for milk allergic. They taste really good too (well, except the cheese slices!)
Obviously fruits, meats, etc.
Store Brands of stuff we use:
Stop & Shop brand English Muffins
Stroehman's and Friehofer's Breads
Tyson chicken nuggets
McCains fries/smileys
Strawberry unfrosted Pop Tarts
Pathmark brand spaghetti & meatballs
Rice Dream
Certain flavors of oatmeal
Teddy Grahams
100 Calorie Packs Lorna Doones
Ritz Crackers
Ritz Dinosaurs
Animal Crackers
Graham Crackers
Toaster Hash Browns
Jones Pork Sausage Patties
Thomas's Brand Cinnamon Raisin Bagels (not frozen, in the bread section) - regular size and mini
Wheat Thins Harvest Grain Vegetable Crackers
4C Kosher BreadCrumbs
Boston Cookies
Pretzels (most brands)
Van's Waffles (read label - not all are safe)
Hillshire Farms Polska Kielbasa
Rice A Roni (some)
Cornbread flavor Stove Top Stuffing
Oscar Mayer Bologna
Lots of cold cereals
Hormel Pepperoni
Hebrew National Salami
Butterball or Hillshire Farms Turkey
Nathan;s Hot Dogs
Most hams are safe
We make pudding with coconut milk.
We make pancakes that are milk/egg free (if you can have egg that's really easy).
We make safe meatloaf, safe chicken cutlets, safe meatballs, Mac and "Chreese" (Whole Foods has this), we eat tons of fruits and veggies.
I know a lot of this stuff will be for when your child is older, but some of the snacks, the chicken nuggets, stuffing, etc. might help right now.
