A Guide to: Cow’s Milk Reintroduction in Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy

What is included?

This guidance is for the home reintroduction of milk and dairy products into the diets of infants and children with mild to moderate cow’s milk allergy. It is a plan to re-introduce milk products gradually and in stages, starting with foods that contain only a small amount of well cooked milk and progressing towards uncooked dairy products and fresh milk.

Who should use it?

This method should only be followed by infants and children with a mild to moderate cow’s milk allergy known as a ‘non IgE mediated’ milk allergy. It is not suitable for children with a milk allergy that results in severe or immediate allergic reactions known as ‘IgE mediated’ milk allergy.
