Emily is a star. My 6-year-old puts up with a lot as her older brother is severly disabled. She has a great appetite, will eat and drink anything accept dairy products as she is lactose intolerant. She is delighted now that we have found LactoFree milk and she is taking a carton a week to school for milk time.
The first time she saw it she said “mummy I can’t have that, it makes me poorly”, but I explained how the clever people at LactoFree take all the nasty bits out that make her sore and upset!
Well, she is sooo happy, yes to macaroni and cheese, yes too hot chocolate, yes to her fave pancakes. You have made my 6-year-old very happy.
