Yes.But ? raises oth: If a five month old child has milk allergies, it has been exposed too early to non-mothers milk. Formulas do not have animal or human milk, so exposure occurred to early. The infants intestine does not completely digest food, but actually takes in some nutrient whole, by the process of pinocytosis. He allergy can be confrimed by a blood test. Reflux in a child this young should lead to a "scope".
