The lowdown

Cow’s milk allergy (also known as cow’s milk protein allergy or CMPA) is an abnormal response by the body’s immune system in which proteins in cow’s milk are seen as a potential threat. This can cause the immune system to be’sensitised’, which means there is the potential that when cow’s milk is consumed, the immune system remembers this protein and reacts to it by producing allergic symptoms, which can happen immediately after feeding or at a later time (identified as a delayed reaction).
