Lucy Wronka shares with Dr Mark Porter the experience of first discovering her son has an allergy to cow’s milk while Dr Adam Fox, paediatric allergist at the Evelina London Children's Hospital, explains the science behind the condition. Cow's milk allergy is the most common food allergy among infants and it affects at least one in 50 babies, toddlers and pre-school children in the UK. It's an allergic reaction to the protein in cow's milk. There are two different types though and one type, called delayed cow's milk allergy, is often missed by health care professionals because it's easily confused with other common conditions.
