Bowel movements in babies can look quite different from those of adults, and just like adults, they vary widely among different babies. There's a whole range of what is considered “normal"!

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.  Essentially, a child’s immune system is getting it wrong and marking something typically safe (in this case, milk protein) as an unwanted invader, and as such, when the immune system is exposed to cow’s milk protein, an allergic reaction happens.

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.
