Management
Successfully managing cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is always easier when it starts with an early, and accurate diagnosis. Following the diagnosis, ongoing structured support is required for infants and young children with CMPA.
Breastmilk provides the ideal balance of nutrients for the infant, including those with CMPA. It contains a diverse range of bioactive components including immunoglobulins, hormones, and oligosaccharides or human milk oligosaccharides (HMO).1
In CMPA infants who are not exclusively breastfed (for whatever reason) then a hypoallergenic formula is necessary to ensure they receive all the nutrients required for growth and development.
As infants grow and develop, their needs for energy and nutrients start to exceed what is provided by breastmilk or hypoallergenic formula, and this is when complementary feeding (CF) should start.
Around 80% of children outgrow their allergy to cow’s milk/dairy by the age of three to five years.2
The infants immune system is influenced by the development of the gut microbiota in early life. Non-breastfed Infants with CMPA have a greater risk of dysbiosis.3
