CMA typically develops in an infant’s first year, and it occurs when the immune system reacts inappropriately to a protein in cow's milk.2 The allergic reaction usually causes symptoms like diarrhoea, wheezing and eczema - these symptoms are common in infants who aren't well, so it can take time to diagnose.
Welcome to the healthcare professional pages of Cow’s Milk Allergy. Here you’ll be able to access a range of valuable articles and resources related to this topic, including clinical guidelines and detailed product information.
Allergy can place a significant burden on both the patient and their families, as well as on healthcare resources3,4. Allergies, including cow’s milk allergy (CMA), are caused by the body’s immune system overreacting to stimuli that are otherwise harmless.
Breastfeeding is the very best nutrition for all infants. When breastfeeding is not possible, there are tailored nutritional solutions – hypoallergenic formulas – specially designed for infants with cow’s milk allergy.
The mainstay of dietary management of CMA infants is the avoidance of all cow’s milk and cow’s milk protein-based infant formulas. Breastfeeding is the gold standard for infant nutrition; however, it may not always be possible for all CMA infants. Therefore, healthcare professionals may prescribe specialized infant formulas based on hydrolyzed protein or amino acids for dietary management.
Due to the recognition that there is gut microbiota dysbiosis in allergy5-7, there is a compelling rationale for the addition of both pre- and probiotics ingredients to formula for infants with CMA. An extensive clinical trial program has investigated the role of synbiotics (a blend of pre- and probiotics) in the dietary management of CMA8-11.

Breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for infants and provides many benefits to babies and mothers. In preparation for and during breastfeeding, it is important to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Combined breast and bottle-feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of breast milk, and reversing the decision not to breastfeed is difficult. The social and financial implications of not breastfeeding should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions must be carefully followed, as improper preparation could pose in health risks to the baby. Always consult a healthcare professional for advice on infant feeding and use the products under medical supervision after considering all feeding options.
