This article presents recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment for infants with a suspected allergy to cow's milk protein (KMPA) and replaces earlier publicized statements on this topic. Children with KMPA should receive a medically necessary diet, which permits normal growth and health. Non-indicated diets or unnecessarily long-lasting diets should be avoided because they negatively affect the quality of life of the children and their families and cause unnecessary costs. The prognosis for KMPA in infants and babies is good. Approximately 75% of affected children develop tolerance by 2 years old and 90% by school age.
