'My baby is allergic to milk'

Tammy Morris says she felt like she was "on her own" when her baby Ila refused to breastfeed, and then had a severe allergic reaction to milk formula.

It took several weeks for Ila to be diagnosed with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA).

Around 2% of babies have the allergy. Doctors say it can be hard to detect, but there is a milk substitute that can be prescribed.
