More than half of the children with an IgE-mediated cow’s milk allergy at age 6 years acquired tolerance to cow’s milk by age 12 years without oral immunotherapy, according to a study published in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology.

Early and continuing exposure to cow’s milk formula during infancy was associated with reduced development of IgE-mediated cow’s milk allergy, according to a study published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

Whether infants were born via vaginal or cesarean delivery did not lead to meaningful differences in likelihood of food allergy at age 12 months, according to a study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
