Symptoms of infant formula allergy may include refusal to feed, spitting up, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal distension—indicating gastrointestinal issues. Skin manifestations such as rashes may also occur. Additionally, infants may exhibit respiratory symptoms after feeding, such as sneezing and runny nose. When an infant shows signs of formula allergy, switching to a different formula brand may help alleviate these symptoms.
