Several studies has recently enlightened therapeutic use of ass%26apos; milk (AM) due to its special composition and nutritional properties, which are very close to human one. This feature makes ideal substitute of breast milk, whenever the mother cannot or will not breastfeed, or the child is intolerant to cow%26apos;s milk (CM), providing the nutritional and health needs of the infant. The authors reviewed the literature about AM tolerance, safety and efficacy in the treatment of infants and children with a food allergy, i.e. CM protein allergy (CMPA). In all the reviewed studies, AM was well tolerated and acceptable, due to its palatability. Researchers enrolled children over 6 months of age, who did not have an exclusive milk diet, and/or had medium-chain triglycerides added. Overall data showed an adequate increase in auxological parameters measured after several months of AM consumption. Finally, potential cross-reactivity between AM protein and CM proteins must be considered. These results suggest that AM might be considered nutritionally adequate in infants and children with CMPA or multiple food allergies, included CMPA.
