Cow's milk allergy, the most common allergy, affects 2% to 3% of infants and young children. Many different formulas are available as substitutes when an infant does not tolerate a cow's milk protein-based formula. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) recommends hydrolyzed protein (protein broken down into amino acids) formula for infants at increased risk of allergic disease (family history). Soy protein-based formulas are the most commonly used substitute, accounting for nearly 25% of the formula market.
