The foods that most commonly cause allergic problems in young children are milk, egg, gluten and fish, so caution should be taken when they are introduced. Food allergy is the most common type of allergy that occurs in infants and young children. It is estimated that about 5% of children under three suffer from an allergy to these characteristics.

The doctor shall, in each case the most appropriate infant formula to prevent the development of a possible food allergy.
