A. If your 3-year-old has a milk allergy, consult with a pediatrician for personalized advice. In general: 1. **Substitute with Alternative Milk:** Use dairy-free alternatives like soy, almond, or oat milk. Ensure they're nutritionally suitable for a young child. 2. **Read Labels:** Be vigilant about reading food labels for hidden dairy ingredients. Many processed foods may contain milk derivatives. 3. **Introduce Calcium-rich Foods:** Include non-dairy sources of calcium in their diet, such as leafy greens, fortified cereals, and certain types of fish. 4. **Protein Sources:** Ensure they get enough protein from sources like meat, poultry, fish, beans, and lentils. 5. **Nutritional Supplements:** Discuss with the pediatrician if any nutritional supplements, like calcium or vitamin D, are necessary. 6. **Educate Caregivers:** Inform teachers, caregivers, and family members about the allergy to prevent accidental exposure. Always seek professional medical advice for your child's specific needs and guidance.
