A person of any age can have a milk allergy, but it's more common among infants (about 2% to 3% of babies), though most outgrow it. If you think that your child has a milk allergy, talk with your doctor about testing and alternatives to milk-based formulas and dairy products.
A milk allergy is not the same thing as lactose intolerance, the inability to digest the sugar lactose, which is rare in infants and more common among older kids and adults.
