Milk Ladder Step Up
Your step-by-step plan for milk ladder success over the next 10 weeks.
Join me inside Milk Ladder Step Up…
The school year, family life, and busy schedules often make it hard to find consistency. Illnesses crop up, routines get disrupted, and it feels like there’s never quite the right time to tackle the milk ladder.
That’s exactly why I created Step Up to give you the structure, clarity, and confidence to move forward, no matter the season.
Just imagine a few months from now…
Your little one diving into their advent calendar on December 1st and feeling the same as their siblings.
Going to grandmas and not having to remind her of suitable options.
No longer checking certain labels and being able to grab food when out and about without hesitation.
Having more choice and watching your little ones diet expand.
Being able to eat what their sibling can eat without them feeling left out.
Your little one digging into a stack of pancakes or at the ice cream counter choosing their favourite flavour.
Freedom to leave the house without a 101 milk free snacks.
Less worry, no more stressing and having the confidence to navigate the ladder.
This is your chance to get ahead, finally overcome your milk ladder struggles and see your child thriving and enjoying more food freedom.
Here’s the truth…
Every time you put the ladder off, not because you're unmotivated, but because you're unsure, the gap widens between where you are now and where you want to be.
That might look like:
Still avoiding everyday foods like pancakes, yoghurt, or pizza with friends.
Feeling unsure about nursery or school meals and dreading when that nursery text comes in and if it’s been a reaction.
Constantly questioning every reaction (Is it a bug? Is it a step too far?)
Staying stuck at the same level for months, or never getting started at all.
Ongoing nutritional gaps due to unnecessary food avoidance.
Increased anxiety or food refusal because of inconsistent exposure.
Feeling isolated without the reassurance or clarity you need.
Delays in tolerance, which can affect long-term allergy outcomes.
The milk ladder doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
But it does need a clear plan, the right support, and consistent follow-through.
Because without these?
It’s easy to stall, to doubt yourself, or to stop altogether.
That’s exactly why I created the Milk Ladder Step-Up
6 weeks of intense guidance, to help you move through every stage with expert support and a clear plan and watch your little one move confidently towards food freedom this winter.
This is support like no other…
Here’s exactly what you get in Milk Ladder Step Up
Weekly check in’s for 6 weeks
Join me, Lydia, for your weekly ladder check-in. Each week we will focus on a theme and a common struggle many families face:
The first 15 minutes I will share expert guidance, tips, and insights as a specialist paediatric allergy dietitian.
The rest of the hour will be your chance to ask questions, share experiences, and get personalised advice.
As a small group, we’ll:
Review your child’s journey in the context of that week’s theme
Work through concerns or hesitations you may be facing
Learn from each other’s real-life challenges and successes
Explore practical strategies to make the ladder easier
A dedicated space you can return to over the next 10 weeks, whenever you need reassurance, up-to-date information, and guidance to stay on track. Inside, you’ll find:
Bite-sized, practical advice designed for busy parents who need clear answers fast
Support for other food ladders (egg, soya, etc.) that often run alongside the milk ladder
A downloadable Milk Ladder Tracker to log each step, celebrate progress, and spot patterns
My exclusive Climbing the Milk Ladder Handbook packed with guidance, tips, and flexible options for selective or fussy eaters
The Step Up Roadmap
And for all those questions that pop up in-between, get them answered the same day in the private Facebook group.
This is your opportunity to…
Ask questions
Share progress with others in exactly the same position
Get ongoing, expert-led follow-up throughout the summer

Whose Milk Ladder Step Up for?
When Holly reached out for further support, her daughter was stuck at step 3. With an IgE-mediated cow’s milk allergy, they had been told by their allergy team to continue the ladder at home but every time they tried to move forward, things stalled.
“We were really confused about what to do next. My daughter didn’t want to eat pancakes, and I was second-guessing every decision.”
That’s when Holly reached out for support.
Through our sessions, we created a plan that worked with her daughter’s preferences and gave Holly a clear, step-by-step approach she could trust. Between calls, she had access to me for reassurance and guidance whenever worries popped up.
“Lydia provided clear guidance that helped us progress with confidence. She was always there to answer questions between calls, which made such a difference.”
Now? They’ve completed the milk ladder. No more stressing over each food, no more getting stuck — just a little girl enjoying the foods she loves, and a mum who feels calm and confident about it.
“Before starting with Lydia, we felt anxious and unsure. Now our daughter has food freedom — and we finally feel at ease.”

Still sitting on the fence?
I hear you.
But this isn’t just an investment in the milk ladder, it’s an investment in your child’s health, confidence, and food freedom.
You might be thinking:
“We’ll just wait for our next NHS appointment...”
“Is private support really necessary?”
The reality? The NHS does amazing work, but it’s stretched. Appointments can be delayed, rushed, or cancelled.
And when they do happen, they might not be with someone who truly specialises in allergy.
That delay can slow your progress, leave you stuck, or even increase the risk of nutritional deficiencies.
As a former NHS paediatric allergy dietitian, I’ve seen the frustration so many families face, waiting months, only to leave more overwhelmed than when they arrived.
That’s exactly why I created the Milk Ladder Step-Up.
Expert-led support when it actually matters NOW. No waiting lists, no guesswork. Just clarity, confidence, and steady progress.
I’ve got your back, and I’d love to support you this winter. Places are limited be sure to grab your spot today.
