Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about Novalac and conditions that might impact your child’s feeding habits.

View All FAQs
Cow’s milk allergy is more common in children under 5 years old. It is one of the most common food allergies in young children, but most outgrow it by school age.1
Lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of the enzyme lactase which helps to digest lactose which is the sugar in milk. Cow’s milk allergy occurs when the body’s immune system reacts to one or more proteins found in cow’s milk and other dairy products.
While commonly nicknamed "milk spots," the appearance of tiny white bumps (milia) on a newborn's face is not indicative of a cow's milk allergy. Milia are simply harmless accumulations of trapped skin cells that typically clear up on their own. In contrast, a milk allergy rash manifests as red, itchy skin due to a reaction to milk protein. If you notice a red, itchy rash on your baby, consult a healthcare professional to rule out a milk allergy.
