To the Editor: Australian consensus guidelines for selecting formulas for infants with cows milk protein allergy (CMPA) have recently been published.1 We reviewed formula choices and outcomes for 51 children with immediate allergic reactions to cows milk protein who were referred to one of us (S S M) in a tertiary specialist clinic over a 2-year period before the guidelines were published. The formula was selected by the referring specialist medical practitioner in 44 cases (and by S S M in the other seven).
