What is the cause of infantile milk powder allergy?

Generally, children will not be allergic to milk powder, but if this happens, the mother must pay special attention to whether the baby is allergic to all milk powder or just a certain type. When allergies occur, we still need to pay attention to the baby's reaction. Generally speaking, milk is a food with very rich nutritional value and is relatively easy to digest. Generally, allergies are caused by the presence of protein in milk.

Milk is a nutritious and easy to digest food. However, some children will have allergic reactions after drinking milk. This is medically called milk protein allergy. Its clinical manifestations mainly include diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, eczema, urticaria, asthma, insomnia, etc.

If your baby has no discomfort after eating the new milk powder, such as skin rash, abdominal distension and pain, you can continue to eat it. After the child finishes eating the milk powder and complementary food, wash the area around the mouth with clean water, then wipe it dry, and apply a little baby lotion (be careful not to apply it inside the baby's mouth) to reduce skin allergies. Generally, allergies will gradually improve. You can observe it temporarily. If the condition worsens, you should go to the dermatology department for examination.

Milk protein allergy is caused by personal constitution, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality of milk powder. The proportion of babies allergic to milk protein is around 5% to 7%. This situation is not uncommon. Once symptoms are found, you should immediately stop feeding your baby milk powder. The allergic reaction will gradually fade away, and the spots on the body will slowly disappear. Depending on individual physical conditions, recovery may be faster or slower.

You can choose soy-based formula milk powder:

Because the protein is plant protein, after the addition of methionine and L-botulinum, its protein is better than the casein in milk and can be used for children who are allergic to milk protein. Because it is high in unsaturated fatty acids, easy to digest and absorb, and does not contain lactose, it is suitable for children with lactose intolerance.

Allergy-free formula milk

A milk allergy is an allergy to the protein in milk, which may cause symptoms such as eczema, vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal pain. You can choose allergy-free infant formula, which is a formula based on soybeans. Generally, this kind of formula can be consumed until the age of 2 years. In addition, some children suffer from secondary lactose intolerance due to long-term diarrhea, which leads to the loss of lactase in the intestinal mucosa and makes the diarrhea difficult to cure. At this time, you can switch to formula milk powder based on soybeans to promote the gradual recovery of lactase in the intestinal mucosa, and the diarrhea will be quickly controlled.

If an infant is allergic to formula milk, you must be careful not to feed the baby with formula milk and try to feed the baby with breast milk. The child's health is directly related to the mother. The mother's health is the health of the baby. Breast milk is of the best quality. If the child is not too old, it is recommended that the child drink breast milk to avoid a second allergic reaction in the child.
