Understanding Cow’s Milk Allergy in Infants: Diagnosis, Symptoms & Supporting Families

Join us live for this essential masterclass, designed for professionals supporting families in the early months of life.

Led by Paediatric Dietitian Emma Shafqat, this session offers clear, evidence-based guidance on one of the most common – and often misunderstood – infant feeding challenges: cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA).

For professionals supporting families in the perinatal period, knowing how to spot the signs, ask the right questions, and offer evidence-based guidance is essential.

Topics covered include:

• What CMPA is (and isn’t): up-to-date definitions and risk factors

• How symptoms present differently in breastfed vs formula-fed babies

• Approaching diagnosis: when testing is helpful – and when it isn’t

• The wider impact of CMPA on feeding, bonding, and maternal wellbeing

• Best practice for introducing solids with suspected or diagnosed CMPA

This session is ideal for lactation consultants, midwives, doulas, health visitors, and other perinatal professionals supporting families with babies aged 0–6 months.

The session includes a dedicated Q&A to deepen your learning and apply new insights to your practice – with a replay available for 3 months following the session (plus quiz and CPD certificate)! Equip yourself with the confidence to support families through one of the most challenging and confusing feeding issues in early infancy.
