Core Tip
Core Tip: This is a unique retrospective observational study showing a rising trend of soya cross allergy. Caution is advised when using soy milk as a substitute for infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA). This recent study shows a significant increase in soy protein cross-allergies among CMA infants, affecting nearly 47% of them. It is crucial to regularly monitor, accurately diagnose, and create personalized feeding plans for the best outcomes.
