APLV or IPLV: 4 letters for Allergic/Intolerant to Cow’s Milk Proteins.
In the life of new parents, let's face it, there are ups and downs! Food allergies tend to fall into the second category. When you learn that your child is CMPA (allergic to cow's milk protein) or CMPA (intolerant to cow's milk protein), you feel a little lost... Sometimes you even tend to lose it, and we understand. Don't panic! Faced with this allergy that occurs before the age of one in our little ones, Good Goût has rolled out a whole range of adapted recipes. It would be a shame to deprive allergic children of the great adventure of taste! Because even if they are not numerous – 2 to 3% of infants develop CMPA during the first year of life* – they too have the right to enjoy themselves!
Recipes without cow's milk for babies with allergies or intolerances
How can you replace cow's milk? What can you offer for dessert? How can you vary your pleasures? Once your allergy or intolerance to cow's milk proteins has been diagnosed, and in consultation with your pediatrician (an allergist or a dietitian), you will have to face these challenges every day. The first thing to do is obviously to get into the habit of scrutinizing labels. At Good Goût, it's simple: our list of ingredients is always kept to a minimum, and everything is clearly stated!
COW'S MILK TO BE EXCLUDE
We'll be hunting for cow's milk, of course, but also for all the products that contain it: dairy products, cheese, butter, crème fraîche... And since in most cases, CMPA babies are also allergic to goat's and sheep's milk, you'll have to keep your eyes peeled. To make your life easier, we've added a "dairy-free" filter to our e-shop's search engine. Just check it to find original recipes for plant-based stir-fries or small dishes guaranteed to be free of cow's milk protein: neither as an ingredient, nor as traces sometimes declared below the ingredient lists. It's child's play!
Here are the specificities of the key ingredients in our plant-based brews:
- Coconut milk is made by pressing coconut pulp and mixing it with water. It has a sweet, strong taste. It is naturally rich in zinc and iron.
- Almond milk is a nut milk. It is made from pureed almonds mixed with water. It has a subtle, fragrant flavor. It is naturally rich in fiber and healthy fats, and is easily digestible.
- Oat milk is made from oats and water. It has a mild, light taste. It is rich in calcium and fiber.
- Spelt plant-based drink is made from spelt and water. We love its mild taste and creamy texture.
Two CMPA packs to simplify parents’ lives
And because we know that time is precious, we've also created two packs without cow's milk, so you can stock up without the hassle! With small dishes, fruit pouches, and plant-based smoothies (made with oats, spelt, coconut milk, or almond milk).
They adapt to the specific needs of babies with CMPA or IPLV from 6 months . The good news is that, moreover, an allergy or intolerance to cow's milk proteins has no impact on your little one's dietary diversification: you can therefore follow the same pace and keep the same steps as for any child with just the necessary precautions! So, let's take life on the BRIGHT side.
The figure that puts a smile back on your face: 50% of babies recover from CMPA by 1 year, 75% by 2 years, and almost all babies by 3 years!*
