Fun fact Friday #15 - Busting the CMPA Formula Myth: Why Lactose-Free and Goat’s Milk Alternatives Aren’t the Answer

Rachel & Elise from Hera Nutrition Season 3 Episode 10

Welcome to another quick and snappy Fun Fact Friday episode on the Hera Health Hub Podcast! In today’s Solo Myth-busting episode, Elise dives into one of the most common and confusing myths about cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA): the idea that switching to lactose-free or goat’s milk formula will solve the problem. 

If your baby has been diagnosed with CMPA and you’ve been told to “just try goat’s milk,” this episode is for you. Elise explains the difference between lactose intolerance and CMPA, why goat’s milk and lactose-free formulas aren’t suitable replacements, and what formulas are actually safe and evidence-based for babies with CMPA.

Whether you’re navigating a suspected allergy or just want to feel confident in your feeding choices, this quick and snappy episode will help to ease the confusion, giving you practical tips and reassurance that you’re not alone.
