Milk allergy duration varies, but many children outgrow it. Specifically, approximately 20% of infants outgrow a milk allergy by 1 year, and nearly all outgrow it by 3 years.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Onset: Milk allergy typically begins when infants are first exposed to cow's milk or milk products (like formula or weaning foods containing milk).
- Resolution:
- A significant portion of infants (20%) outgrow the allergy by their first birthday.
- By the age of 3, nearly all children with a milk allergy will have outgrown it.
