🌿 Introducing Your New 10-Step Real Food Dairy Ladder

With BONUS 7-step Goats Milk Ladder! Great for babies who have a reaction to step 1 of the dairy ladder.

Based on ancestral nutrition and gut-first science, this gentle method walks you through 10 simple steps—waiting 3–5 days at each stage—so you can monitor tolerance and build resilience.

👶 Why It Works:

  • Progressive Exposure: One food at a time, waiting 3–5 days to truly assess tolerance.

  • Gut-First Focus: Starts with low-lactose, low dairy protein, fermented, or cooked (denatured) dairy that supports digestion.

  • Real Food, Real Nutrients: No junk—leverages nutrient-dense options.

  • Built-In Safety: Reaction guide flags mild versus severe symptoms, so you know exactly when to pause and seek help.

  • The goats-milk alternative for extra sensitive babies: There is always somewhere to start

💬 Who It’s For:

  • Mums introducing dairy for the first time—especially after eczema, colic, or reflux

  • Babies with mild sensitivities who need a gentler approach

  • Parents who want to replace processed ladder foods with whole-food alternatives

  • Mums who have tried the traditional dairy ladder without success and are looking for a gentle alternative

  • You've tried the dairy ladder but your baby reacted to the first step so you need a goats milk alternative

“My baby had a mild reaction to Dairy the first time I tried to introduce it, that’s when i was advised to use the iMAP ladder but the first time I looked at it i thought ‘this doesn’t seem like the best way’. It didn’t align with the way my family eats (wholefoods). Then I found Lily’s Dairy ladder and it was just perfect! It took some time at step 1 and 2 to move on but now my daughter is fine with all dairy! Thanks so much.”
