Update: Watch the webinar recording here.

If a baby is extra fussy after eating and having stomach-related symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea, when do you need to consider cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) as the cause?

Find out what CMPA is and how it can be managed through our informative and educational webinar on this medical condition. You’ll gain a better understanding of it along with practical management strategies that families can follow from two expert guest speakers, an allergist and a registered dietitian. A Q&A will follow where you can ask questions, plus, you can submit your questions upon registration. This session is sponsored by Mead Johnson Nutrition (Canada) Co.

You will learn:

  • What this type of milk allergy is in babies
  • How common is CMPA 
  • What are the signs/symptoms of it
  • How is CMPA diagnosed and treated
  • When it is outgrown and how to find out
  • How to discuss daily management of CMPA with families
