Several different types of infant formulas are available to manage cows’ milk allergy (CMA). How do you select the most appropriate one? Do we need to think beyond just controlling symptoms?

Cows’ milk allergy (CMA) presents with a broad range of symptoms – what should healthcare practitioners be looking out for and what are common misconceptions?

Cow’s milk allergy management takes an individualised approach that considers the patient’s age, medical history, symptoms, and severity of allergy to avoid complications and ensure optimal health outcomes. It is also important to educate patients and their families about the potential for cross-contamination, hidden sources of milk in foods, and how to read allergen labelling.
