Dear Lynette,

Your child can be tested from any age using skin prick tests or specific IgE to cow's milk. The clinician just needs to know how to interpret the tests at a younger age.

You mention CMPI (cow's milk protein intolerance) in your post. Please take a look at my post in the children&allergy section on IgE vs non IgE confusion for further information regarding this.

Best wishes,

Dr Helen Brough
