Are any babies allergic to their mother's milk?

Allergy to cow milk or powder milk is quite common, but not allergy to breast milk. That is why we advise exclusive breastfeeding for six months.

In the first months of life, the baby’s intestines are not fully matured and foreign substances present in formula may enter the system of the baby through the immature intestine.

Such babies are more prone to allergic diseases like allergic milk intolerance with severe vomiting and diarrhoea and allergic rash, asthma or eczema.
