Summary: Cow's milk allergy is the most prevalent type of food allergy among infants. There is a growing demand for more options for infant feeding, especially for the prevention and management of cow's milk allergy. Milk from other mammalian sources and proteins from plant sources have gained increased interest due to their potentially lower allergenicity.

Summary: Pituitary hormones like prolactin and luteinizing hormone were found to be higher in breast milk from mothers of preterm infants compared to term infants. Infant formulas have higher total protein content but do not contain detectable levels of pituitary hormones.

Summary: This study evaluated the hypoallergenicity, growth, and gastrointestinal tolerability of a new extensively hydrolyzed whey-protein formula in children with cow's milk allergy. The results showed that all subjects tolerated the formula, and it was associated with normal growth and gastrointestinal tolerability.

Summary: Early discontinuation of cow's milk formula, particularly within the first month of life, is associated with the development of cow's milk allergy in infants who received cow's milk formula in the early days of life.

Summary: The study findings indicate that early introduction of cow's milk formula can effectively prevent the development of cow's milk allergy. This strategy can be implemented without competing with breastfeeding.

Summary: A systematic evaluation of goat-milk-based infant formulas (GMFs) compared to cow-milk-based formulas (CMFs) found no significant differences in infant growth and safety parameters. Although there were some concerns and biases in the included studies, the results provide reassurance that GMFs are similarly safe and well tolerated as CMFs for infants.

Summary: Currently, there are no specific recommendations for using any particular infant formula to prevent cow's milk allergy. There is increasing interest in alternative infant formulas made from milk proteins from animals other than cows, but their ability to prevent cow's milk allergy has not been studied.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of consuming soy-based infant formula at 9-12 mo after birth on the subsequent development of epilepsy, neurodevelopmental disorders, and developmental status. The results showed no apparent association between feeding with soy formula rather than cow's milk formula and increased risks of epilepsy, ADHD, ASD, and developmental status in a general pediatric population.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the early effects of soy-based infant formula on bone metabolism and structure. It found that 6-month-old infants who consumed soy-based infant formula showed improved bone metabolism, but no significant differences in bone metabolism or density were observed between ages 2 and 6.

Summary: This study examined the short-term effects of using a commercial amino acid formula (AAF) to manage suspected cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in infants aged 6 months and under. The results showed that gastrointestinal (94%), skin (87%), respiratory (86%), and uncategorized symptoms (89%) improved after using AAF. These findings suggest that AAF may decrease the severity of CMPA symptoms in infants 6 months or younger.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the hypoallergenicity of a new amino acid-based formula (AAF) in children with IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA), and found that the new AAF showed hypoallergenicity in all study subjects, suggesting it as a potential dietary option for non-breastfed children affected by CMA.

Summary: This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of different therapeutic infant formulas for managing cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in Thailand, which may reflect situations in developing countries throughout Asia. The results showed that extensively hydrolyzed casein formula with added probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (EHCF+LGG) was the most cost-effective strategy for managing non-breastfed infants with CMPA.

Summary: Cow's milk allergy is a common food allergy in early childhood, affecting 2-5% of children worldwide. While most children eventually develop tolerance, selecting an appropriate alternative milk is crucial for their growth and development. The increasing variety of alternative milk products adds complexity for families and clinicians. This article aims to provide guidance to Canadian healthcare professionals on recommending the most suitable and nutritionally optimal alternatives for individuals with cow's milk allergy.

Summary: Cow's milk allergy is a common food allergy in children. For breast-fed infants, the mother is advised to avoid dairy products. In cases where avoidance is not possible, hypoallergenic replacement formulas are recommended. If these formulas are ineffective or allergic symptoms persist, amino acid-based formulas should be considered.

Summary: This study investigated the concentrations of carotenoids in human milk and infant blood worldwide, showing variations in carotenoid levels at different stages. It was found that infants globally are exposed to a variety of dietary carotenoids.
