What is Cows’ Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA)?

Cows' milk protein allergy (CMPA), also known as cows' milk allergy (CMA), is one of the most common food allergies in babies and young children. CMPA is a type of milk allergy where a baby’s immune system responds to the proteins found in cows’ milk, causing the baby to have allergic symptoms.

There are many symptoms associated with CMPA, but it can be easily managed with the correct diet, so getting a diagnosis is very important. The good news is that the vast majority of children who are allergic to cows' milk will outgrow this by the time they are 5 years old.

Important feeding information
  • Do not add any extra powder or water to make feeds stronger or weaker and do not press powder into the scoop. Using too much or too little powder can make a baby ill.
  • We recommend preparing each feed in individual bottles when required, feed immediately.
  • For hygiene reasons, discard unfinished feed in the bottle as soon as possible.
  • Always hold the baby while feeding. Never leave the baby alone during feeding as there is a risk they might choke.
  • Do not alter or add to formulae unless medically directed.
  • Do not warm feeds in a microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding.
