REVIEW ER 'S CONCLUSIONS There is no evidence to support feeding with a hydrolysed formula for the prevention of allergy in preference to exclusive breast feeding .
In high risk infants who are unable to be completely breast fed , there is evidence that prolonged feeding with a hydrolysed compared to a cow 's milk formula reduces infant and childhood allergy and infant CMA .
BACKGROUND Allergies and food reactions are common and may be associated with foods including adapted cow 's milk formulas .
Formulas containing hydrolysed proteins have been used to treat infants with allergy or food intolerance , and have been advocated for prevention of allergy and food intolerance in infants .
OBJECTIVES To determine whether use of hydrolysed formulas for infant feeding prevents allergy and food intolerance .
If hydrolysed formulas are effective , to determine what type of hydrolysed formula is most effective including extensively and partially hydrolysed formulas .
To determine which infants benefit including infants at low or high risk of allergy and infants receiving early , short term or prolonged formula feeding .
Evidence of very delayed clinical reactions to cow's milk in cow's milk‐intolerant patients
Background : In patients with cow 's milk protein intolerance ( CMPI ) , delayed clinical reactions to cow 's milk ( CM ) ingestion may be misdiagnosed if the clinical symptoms are not “ classical ” and there is a long time lapse between ingestion of CM and the clinical reaction . The aim was to evaluate the clinical outcome of CMPI in a cohort of CM‐intolerant children , with particular attention to the occurrence of clinical manifestations beyond 72 h after CM challenge
