Cows milk protein allergy?
We've recently tried introducing cows milk into my almost 1 year old milk to gradually move her off formula. Both days I've given her an ounce of cows milk (several days apart) she has had a large vomit a few hours afterwards. Since she was weaned she has had regular dairy, such as in porridge, yogurt and cheese. And has had dairy in her formula since birth. She has been off her food since her first try of cows milk.
I'm getting conflicting information in my research as to whether this could be a cows milk protein allergy or not, so was wondering if anyone whose little one has a confirmed allergy can share their experience and whether this could be an allergy?
We are stopping giving her cows milk and will wait until she seems better and eating normally again before trying cows milk again and if she still vomits we'll take her to the doctor. But I just wanted to hear others experiences, thanks!

My kids have all had confirmed CMPA. It’s a pretty big scale for reactions so it’s really hard to say. If it was an allergy it would appear to be pretty mild and a delayed allergy based on what you’ve said. The milk ladder is a good resource to look at, a cup of cows milk is at the top of the ladder and there’s different stages you try beforehand to see how much dairy they can tolerate. My first had the most extreme reaction which included throat swelling, eczema, vomiting, mucous poos, dropping off the weight chart. My second had a pretty mild response which was being sick and loose poos. My third had facial swelling, vomiting, eczema, mucous poos with blood. They won’t do an allergy test unless your little one has suffered with swelling after having dairy. Might be worth looking up the milk ladder and starting from the bottom and seeing how high you can get x
