What causes milk allergy in babies?

Babies need to drink a certain amount of milk, but why are some babies allergic to milk? In fact, it is related to their own physical constitution, and it is also due to the milk powder itself. There are many reasons for babies to be allergic to milk. I hope to learn more about it through the following understanding and see what the reasons for babies' milk allergies are, which will help mothers better understand their babies. They also need to pay more attention when feeding milk powder. The symptoms of milk allergy caused by improper feeding are generally as follows

1. Caused by not eating mother's colostrum.

Newborns need to eat soon after birth. Some parents use the excuse that the mother is weak after giving birth and needs rest badly, and do not let the child suck the mother's colostrum first. Instead, they feed the child with sugar water or milk instead of breast milk too early, causing the child to lack anti-allergic substances in the body. Modern medical research has found that when a child is born, his body has stored enough nutrients and water, enough to meet his needs before he starts sucking colostrum from his mother. Therefore, it is not necessary to feed him sugar water when he is born. He should suck colostrum as soon as possible because colostrum is not only rich in nutrients, but also contains anti-allergic ingredients, which is very beneficial to the child's health.

2. Caused by improper dilution of milk.

If the mother lacks milk or has no milk, she will feed the baby with milk from the beginning. When diluting milk, because the prescribed method and proportion are not followed, children often become allergic to milk after consuming it. Modern immunological research has found that milk contains at least 20 kinds of antigenic protein components, five of which often cause allergies in infants. When these five foreign proteins enter the immature gastrointestinal tract of infants, due to the lack of enzymes to break them down, they enter the blood circulation as antigens and stimulate the body to produce antibodies. People with normal immune function can destroy these antigens and antibodies and excrete them from the body, but since the immune function of newborns is not yet complete, the antigens and antibodies will combine, causing allergic reactions. The main treatment method is prevention. When diluting milk, you must add or reduce water according to the child's physical condition and it should not be too thick.

There are actually some causes of infant milk allergy. Because infants need to add certain nutrients from an early age, milk supplementation is necessary, but the amount of milk also needs attention. Many people are afraid of infant milk allergy. Some babies will have some problems with their bodies, and some will even have allergic bumps. A detailed analysis of the cause will be helpful.
