What to do if your child is allergic to milk powder

Some children are repellent to milk powder, which means that the baby's body has antibodies against milk powder, so mothers must pay attention and try not to buy milk powder for their babies. Try another one. Also, check whether the baby has allergic reactions to other milk powders. Finally, determine whether it is a problem with the milk powder or the child's antigen. So when this situation occurs again, mothers must remain calm and face it.

It is increasingly found that there are many babies with allergies. When it comes to choosing milk powder, mothers often ask me, what kind of milk powder should I choose for my baby? PT or HA? What is the difference between deep hydrolysis and semi-hydrolysis? To be honest, I really didn't know how to answer at the beginning. I only know about two special milk powders, Pepti and Ha, which are for people with allergies, and I know nothing about the others. After two years of contact, I have gained some understanding of it. I would like to throw out some ideas here and provide some help to mothers who are having a headache choosing milk powder for their babies with allergies. It is generally believed that if protein is hydrolyzed to a molecular weight less than 1000 Dalton, it is unlikely to become an allergen. Hydrolyzed protein milk powder is made from milk ingredients, but the protein in it has been broken down into small molecules through enzyme hydrolysis and heating. The original allergenic structure of milk protein is also destroyed, thus greatly reducing the chance of allergy. "Extended hydrolyzed formula milk powder" means that large molecular milk protein is converted into short peptides and amino acid structures. It is non-allergenic and suitable for the treatment of infant allergies. This is suitable for babies who already have allergic symptoms, even those with moderate or above symptoms. This kind of judgment can be made by a professional doctor in the hospital. I have seen babies who are most severely allergic to milk protein. They are even allergic to ice cream water containing milk ingredients, and their lips turn completely red due to the allergy. "Partially hydrolyzed formula milk" means that large-molecule milk protein is converted into small molecules through heating and enzymatic hydrolysis, which reduces the allergenicity by 1,000 times. It is suitable for all newborns or for preventing babies from allergies or babies with mild allergic symptoms. In addition, these two types of milk powder are completely made of milk as the main ingredient. The milk protein is hydrolyzed using a special process and some beneficial ingredients are added. In terms of nutrition, they are not less at all. So, how to judge which milk powder to choose? For babies who already have allergic symptoms (especially in serious cases, if conditions permit, you can go to the hospital for testing), it is recommended to eat Pepti. For babies with a family history of allergies or babies or newborns with mild allergies, it is recommended to eat Ha. These are mainly for prevention. Special milk powder has therapeutic effects, so after consuming it for a period of time, you can slowly switch back to ordinary milk powder. Attached are the symptoms of baby's allergies: Skin symptoms: eczema, papules, rash, angioedema around the lips/eyelids, etc.; Respiratory system symptoms: asthma, frequent coughing, runny nose, etc.; Nasal symptoms: nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing Eye problems: itchy or red eyes Gastrointestinal symptoms: continuous vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, cramps, bloody stools, unexplained refusal to feed, etc. Overall anxiety: frequent crying, lack of sleep, irritability, and slow growth.

After the above introduction, I believe mothers have a deep understanding of this situation, and understand why the baby will have allergies, what consequences will occur when the baby has this situation, and what to do after this situation occurs. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to this situation and try to avoid it.
