Honestly, the easiest step is the first one: contacting your child’s school board.

It's still important, however, to attempt to reintroduce milk protein later on, since these sensitivities can go away. But, if your baby is formula-fed, you don't want to switch directly to whole (3.25%) milk just yet. It's important to introduce gradually.
