Introduction: Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) is characterized as a reproducible hypersensitivity reaction, which can be classified according to the immune mechanism involved. It not only directly affects children with this condition but also significantly influences the daily lives and emotional well-being of their caregivers. Objective: This study aims to describe the challenges faced by caregivers following a pediatric diagnosis of CMPA, as well as the impacts on their routine, dietary choices, and emotional aspects. Methodology: This is an integrative bibliographic review with descriptive and exploratory aspects. A total of 193 articles published between 2020 and 2024 were selected. After screening, 8 articles in English and Portuguese, as well as 1 Brazilian article, were chosen for compilation. The following descriptors were used in the database search: “Cow's milk protein allergy,” “Milk Hypersensitivity,” “Caregiver Burden,” “Parent-Child Relations,” “Stress, Psychological,” and “Adverse Food Reactions.” Results: After analyzing the studies included in this review, it is concluded that CMPA has a significant impact on the routine and emotional health of caregivers, especially mothers, who often assume the central role in care. Adapting to the new daily demands causes changes in the caregivers’ personal, social, and professional lives, as well as increasing stress and isolation due to the lack of social understanding of the severity of the allergy. This scenario contributes to feelings of overload and frustration, exacerbating the emotional challenges faced by these families.
