Cow’s milk allergy is the most common food allergy in children in most developed countries within the first few years of life, presenting as both IgE and non-IgE mediated allergy. Dr Fleischer describes the need for early identification of CMA, and the consequences of delayed diagnosis and inappropriate dietary management on growth and development. He provides simple and practical guidance on how to identify CMA.
