The prevalence of this allergy is increasing, as is understanding about its impact on long term health. Nutricia Early Life Nutrition continue to pioneer solutions for the dietary management of cows’ milks allergy in infants and young children.
Allergy expert Dr Carina Venter offers advice on weaning infants with cows' milk allergy.
Due to several similarities in their symptoms, lactose intolerance is often confused with cows’ milk allergy (CMA). This can lead to incorrect diagnosis and therefore treatment, which ultimately means continued discomfort and distress for the child and their parents.
There is often confusion surrounding the diagnosis and management of CMA. This is partly due to the small percentage of infants suffering with the condition, and also because of its broad-ranging symptoms. To help you get a better insight and understanding of this complex condition, Specialist Paediatric Allergy Dietitian, Dr Carina Venter has compiled a list of ten common myths and their reality. Learn more as she dispels many popular myths, such as children with eczema don’t have food allergies and all allergic reactions to food always occur quickly after consumption.
To parents Sian and Alex, their baby boy Finley was healthy and developing well on the breast. Nothing could have prepared them for the difficulties they would experience when they tried to wean him.

In the end, the insights of a GP lead to the right diagnosis and a lasting solution.
