More about cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA)​

BREASTFEEDING IS BEST FOR BABIES.

Of all food allergies, cow’s milk protein allergy or CMPA is the most common one in infancy.

In Australia and New Zealand more than 2% (1 in 50) of infants are allergic to cow's milk*. Most children outgrow cow's milk allergy by the age of three to five years. Although nearly half of the children affected by CMPA grow out of it by 1 year, and two-thirds at 2, we understand that in the initial stages it can be a very challenging time as a parent.

Food allergies such as CMPA can affect anyone, however those infants with a family history of allergy are at higher risk. CMPA occurs when a baby’s immune system reacts negatively to the proteins in cow’s milk.

  • If formula-fed, the reaction is to the milk protein in the formula.
  • If breastfed, the reaction is due to milk protein in the diet of older infants or it may be due to milk protein passed from the mother through breast milk. Continued breastfeeding is encouraged and your doctor can advise on the most appropriate feeding options, depending upon your baby's symptoms.

In both cases, the cow’s milk protein triggers the body’s immune system to have an allergic reaction. This can cause symptoms that affect the skin, breathing and/or digestive system of your baby. There are two types of allergic reactions:

  • IgE mediated –rapid onset allergic reactions and can occur within 15 minutes after consuming cows’ milk or dairy products.
  • Non-IgE mediated - delayed reactions to cows’ milk may take up to several hours to days to appear after consumption of the allergen.

If you are concerned that your child may have CMPA, speak with your child’s doctor to discuss symptoms and possible diagnosis. In case of a severe allergic reaction, seek medical assistance without delay. Once diagnosed, CMPA can be effectively managed in consultation with a healthcare professional. The key is to seek support from a healthcare professional as early as possible in the journey to ensure an early and correct diagnosis.
