Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) is a type of food allergy common amongst babies and young children. Children with CMPA will have a reproducible allergic reaction to one or more of the proteins in cow’s milk.

In the UK, an estimated 2 million people are living with a diagnosed food allergy. Food allergies can be a daunting thing, especially if you are unsure if your little one has an allergy to food when you start weaning.
