allergic rejection to cow milk proteins before 1 month

[Guest guest]

" Most formula fed infants developed symptoms of allergic rejection to cow milk

proteins before one month of age. About 50-70% experienced rashes or other skin

symptoms, 50-60 percent gastrointestinal symptoms, and 20-30 percent respiratory

symptoms. The recommended therapy

is to avoid cow's milk. "
