Before you start

Babies often demonstrate mild symptoms, such as rashes, reflux, regurgitation, colic and constipation or are a little unsettled in the firs few months of life. Very often these symptoms will settle down after a few weeks or months and are nothing to worry about. Sometines, these types of symptoms can continue and can cause anxiety or concern for parents and carers and then it is always best to get the advice of a healthcare professional. 

In a small number of babies, these symptoms may indicate the presence of an allergy to cow's milk. This short questionnaire is designed to help you collect some relevant information for you to share with your healthcare professional. 

Important: If you are concerned about the health of your baby at any point, please, always seek professional medical advice.
