Hannah Whittaker, Specialist Paediatric Allergy Dietitian

I’ve spent nearly 20 years working in nutrition and dietetics, and since 2016 as a registered dietitian specialising in paediatrics.

I’ve seen the gap.

In my NHS and private practice, I’ve worked with hundreds of families navigating the milk ladder. And I’ve seen the same frustration over and over: parents are handed a chart, told to “start with baked milk,” and then left to figure out the rest on their own.

The basic milk ladder recipes? Two muffins and a cookie. That’s it for the first three steps.

So I created what should have existed all along: a complete milk ladder recipe guide with real variety, and practical guidance for every step of the milk ladder.

These are purpose-built, tested recipes designed specifically for babies and toddlers working through the milk ladder – with the portions, average protein content based on the original developed milk ladder recipes, and troubleshooting tips you actually need.

As a lecturer in Nutrition and Dietetics, I teach evidence-based practice. This guide reflects that: tested, trusted, and designed to work.

You shouldn’t have to piece this together yourself. Now you don’t have to.

Not at all! These recipes are designed for real parents with busy lives – I’ve tested them on my own children and they are my biggest critics! Clear instructions, realistic prep times, and simple ingredients you can find in regular grocery shops.
