What kind of milk powder is good for babies who are allergic to milk?

In order to maintain their figure, many mothers now wean their children very early, or simply stop feeding their children breast milk and use milk instead. Although milk has high nutritional value and is easily absorbed by babies, some babies are born with poor resistance and will be allergic to drinking milk. So when this happens, what kind of milk powder should the baby drink? Let’s take a look together below.

1: Why are babies allergic to milk?

Certain proteins in milk, such as α-s1 casein and β-lactoglobulin, are currently recognized allergens. The above two proteins generally do not cause allergic reactions in adults, but for babies who are just a few months old, these proteins can induce gastrointestinal allergic reactions.

2. What are the symptoms of baby's milk allergy?

1. Skin: Children may have atopic dermatitis or eczema, edema around the lips or eyelids, and most of them may have urticaria. 2. Respiratory aspects: wheezing, frequent coughing, runny nose, rhinitis, etc. may occur.

3. Gastrointestinal tract: There will be symptoms such as milk refusal, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, blood in stool, etc. In a small number of cases, milk allergies can also cause constipation in babies.

3. What should I do if my baby is allergic to milk?

1. Adhere to breastfeeding. The best way to prevent milk powder allergies is to breastfeed, and it is best to continue until one year old or even older. Breast milk usually does not cause allergies.

2. Stay away from foods that cause allergies. Limit the intake of foods with allergenic factors such as milk, eggs, fish, peanuts and tree nuts. For infants in high-risk groups, solid foods should be introduced after six months.

3. Change milk powder. If your baby is allergic to ordinary formula milk, you should promptly switch to hypoallergenic milk powder. If it is confirmed that the person is allergic to milk protein, "anti-allergic formula" or "soy protein formula" can be used to improve the allergy problem.
