Infant Formula Trial

Cow’s milk allergy is typically seen in babies and infants and rarely develops after the age of one. Children can develop cow’s milk allergy if they are formula-fed or breast-fed. The onset is closely related to the introduction of infant formula based on cow’s milk and other dairy products. It affects about 1 in 50 of children, the majority of whom will outgrow their milk allergy by school age. However for some, cow’s milk allergy may be lifelong.

Mild symptoms may include:
• Tummy pain and vomiting
• Itching
• Redness of the skin
• Urticaria (nettle rash or hives), often around the mouth
• Swelling e.g. in the lips
• Cough

Symptoms in severe cases may include:
• Wheeze
• Anaphylaxis (throat swelling/choking, breathing difficulty and collapse)

Some infants may get a rash on skin contact with milk.

The allergy team at the Paediatric Research Unit at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington in London is testing a new milk formula for infants with actual or suspected Cow's Milk Allergy. If your child is under 2 and you would like to learn more please fill in the details below.
