Best formula for milk allergy

Managing a Cows Milk Protein Allergy

Managing a baby’s cow's milk protein allergy will require some dietary changes. Let’s take a look at what you might expect if your little one has this common infant food allergy.

Cow's milk protein allergy diet at a glance

Avoiding dairy products—including cow’s milk-based formula—is the primary management strategy for babies with cow's milk protein allergy. But even with a doctor’s guidance, most parents of babies with cow’s milk protein allergy understandably have lots of questions. What hidden sources of cow’s milk should you be aware of? What can you do to ease issues like reflux, rashes, and respiratory issues?

As with any health concern, if you think your baby's experiences might be due to cow's milk protein allergy, it's important to see your doctor so that they can evaluate your baby and make an appropriate identification. Your doctor will provide direction on how to make your baby more comfortable. If you’re formula-feeding, they will likely recommend switching your baby to a hypoallergenic infant formula, such as Nutramigen^® with Probiotic^™ LGG^®, which has been clinically shown to manage colic due to cow’s milk protein within 48 hours. ^*

How can I ease my baby’s cow’s milk protein allergy issues?

If your little one has a cow’s milk protein allergy, your doctor may suggest switching to a hypoallergenic formula like Nutramigen to help manage their issues. Keep in mind, though, that even if you suspect a cow's milk protein allergy, avoid changing your baby’s diet without getting the green light from your doctor first.

If you are breastfeeding

Although it is not common, breastfed babies can develop an allergy to the milk protein in cow’s milk. The cow's milk protein that you ingest can cross into your breast milk and cause an allergic reaction in your baby. If you’re breastfeeding and your child has a cow's milk protein allergy, eliminating milk and milk products from your diet may help, but discuss it with your doctor. You may also want to talk to a dietitian about finding alternative sources of calcium and other nutrients to replace what you were getting from dairy products.

If you are formula-feeding

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a hypoallergenic (extensively hydrolyzed) formula for cow's milk protein allergy dietary management. ¹ Most babies with cow's milk protein allergy do well on an extensively hydrolyzed formula, such as Enfamil Nutramigen. However, an amino acid formula, like Enfamil PurAmino, may be recommended in some severe cases. Ask your baby's doctor which formula is appropriate for your baby.

How does extensively hydrolyzed formula work for a baby with cow's milk protein allergy?

Most infant formulas (except soy formulas) are cow milk-based. However, the cow's milk protein in our hypoallergenic Nutramigen LGG Infant Formula has been broken down extensively, so the body doesn't recognize it as a whole protein; therefore, it's much less likely to trigger an allergic response. At least 90% of babies with cow's milk protein allergy fed hypoallergenic baby formula should not react to the extensively broken down protein.²

Can I use a partially hydrolyzed formula if my baby has a cow's milk protein allergy?

There is a significant difference between a partially hydrolyzed formula and an extensively hydrolyzed formula. Many babies allergic to cow's milk protein will still react to a partially hydrolyzed formula. Therefore, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend using a partially hydrolyzed formula for babies with cow's milk protein allergy.³

Can I use a soy-based formula if my baby has a cow's milk protein allergy?

Many babies who are allergic to cow's milk protein will also be allergic to soy protein. As a result, soy formulas are not recommended for babies who have cow's milk protein allergies.⁴

Could soy oil cause an allergic reaction if my baby has a cow's milk protein allergy?

Protein is the food component that usually triggers allergic reactions. Our hypoallergenic baby formula contains soy oil, not soy protein. Since the soy oil in our hypoallergenic formula is purified, refined, and considered hypoallergenic, we would not expect it to cause an allergic reaction.

Other tips for managing cow’s milk protein allergy issues

Aside from making dietary changes, there are other things you can do to ease some of your baby’s discomfort—even before you get an official cow's milk protein allergy identification.

Help with reflux

Create a comfortable atmosphere at feeding time to help your baby relax. Sometimes smaller, more frequent feedings might be better than feeding large volumes in one sitting.
Try to discourage your baby from drinking too quickly or gulping the formula.
Check that the bottle nipple you're using doesn't cause your baby to swallow too many bubbles while they are drinking.
Keep your baby in an upright position just after feeding to allow the food to settle.
Avoid dressing your baby in tight-fitting clothes that might press against their tummy.
Do not let people smoke near your baby, as this might affect reflux.

If these tips don't help, speak to your doctor. They might prescribe a special thickening agent to add to your baby's formula so that it's more likely to stay in their stomach rather than come back up.

Help with gas

Feed your baby slowly and pause from time to time.
If you're bottle-feeding:
- Tip the bottle so the nipple is always full of milk to help minimize swallowing air bubbles while drinking.
- Make sure the hole in the nipple is large enough. Babies can suck in a lot of air if the nipple is too small.
Ensure that your baby has at least one good burp after each feeding. Try rubbing the left side of their back, starting at the lower back and slowly moving up towards the shoulders, or gently bicycle your baby's legs while they're lying on their back.

Help with colic/excessive crying

Babies with cow's milk protein allergy might have colic, where they cry excessively for no other apparent reason. The crying tends to happen for at least three hours a day, more than three days a week, and for three weeks or more. If your baby has colic, talk to your doctor to see if a hypoallergenic baby formula such as Nutramigen could be a management solution. Here are some other tips that may help ease your baby’s colic symptoms:

Carry your baby in an infant sling or front carrier on your chest while you walk around, as the body contact and motion can be calming.
Play comforting sounds like soft music, fan sounds, or a heartbeat recording to help recreate a reassuring womb-like environment.
Soothe your baby with gentle, rhythmic motions, such as cradling them while rocking in a chair or using a vibrating infant seat.
Massage your baby's skin as babies love skin-to-skin contact. You might find that a regular massage helps ease your baby's crying and irritability. Ask your healthcare professional for more information on infant massage.

Help with skin issues

An allergic reaction to cow's milk protein might cause your baby to experience skin issues, such as an itchy rash. In this case:

Try to discourage your baby from scratching the rash, as this could aggravate the skin and increase the risk of infection. Your doctor may recommend anti-scratch mittens. Keep your baby's nails short to help them avoid scratching their delicate skin.
If you find that synthetic fibers aggravate the rash, try to dress your baby in natural materials like cotton instead.
Wash new clothes before trying them on your baby, and avoid fabric softeners to leave your baby's clothes free from chemical residues.
Hot weather could make the rash worse, so try to stay out of the heat if you find this to be the case.
Do not bathe your baby with scented soaps or heavy baby washes. These strip the oils from the skin and can cause adverse reactions.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist about using emollient creams to keep your baby's skin moisturized to avoid flare-ups and further skin damage. Emollients/moisturizers should be applied under the supervision of your doctor.

Depending on how severe your baby's rash is, their doctor may also consider prescribing certain medications or applying special bandages to help reduce swelling, redness, and itching. Speak to your doctor if you think your baby might need these.

Ask your doctor about hypoallergenic Nutramigen® specially created for babies with cow's milk protein allergy

If your baby has a cow's milk protein allergy, talk to your baby's doctor about switching to a hypoallergenic, extensively hydrolyzed formula such as Nutramigen^® with Probiotic^™ LGG^®. Nutramigen LGG is a hypoallergenic formula clinically shown to manage colic due to cow's milk protein allergy fast, in as quickly as 48 hours.^* It helps more babies overcome cow's milk protein allergy and return to consuming regular milk in as soon as six months of feeding.^† Plus, it’s lactose-free and helps reduce the incidence of future allergies.^**

Formula Options For Infants With Food Allergies

Cow’s milk allergy (usually just called “milk allergy”) and soy allergy are very common food allergies among children.

What to Feed Your Infant or Toddler If They Have Food Allergies

Infants can develop food intolerances or allergies. A small subset of infants fed human milk (either by breast or bottle) can show symptoms due to food proteins the mother or lactating person eats passing through into the human milk. Formula-fed infants can show symptoms due to not tolerating the food proteins (milk or soy) in infant formula. Babies should ideally drink human milk or formula for at least the first year of life.

Food Allergy

A food allergy occurs when the body’s immune system sees a certain food as harmful and reacts by causing one or more symptoms. This is known as an allergic reaction.

Foods that cause allergic reactions are called allergens. Even a small amount of an allergen can cause a reaction. Allergic reactions usually occur after your child eats a food they are allergic to.

There are two types of food allergies: IgE mediated and non-IgE mediated.

Symptoms from IgE mediated food allergies usually occur within two hours of feeding and can present as:

Rash
Hives
Vomiting
Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)

This is the “classic” type of food allergy that causes symptoms like hives and swelling. An IgE-mediated food allergy can get worse over time. Some food allergies are more likely than others to be outgrown as children age. When a child is diagnosed with this type of allergy, your health care provider should provide you with an epinephrine auto-injector to treat severe allergic reactions.

Symptoms from non-IgE mediated food allergies are usually delayed after feeding and may present as:

Bloody, mucousy stools
Colic, reflux, more severe spitting up
Vomiting
Diarrhea

Most symptoms of non-IgE mediated food allergies involve the digestive tract. Types of non-IgE mediated food allergies include:

Eosinophilic [EE-oh-sin-oh-FILL-ick] esophagitis (EoE) – an allergic swallowing disorder caused by an inflamed esophagus (part of the throat)
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) [eff-PIES] – inflammation in the small intestine and colon (large intestine)
Allergic proctocolitis [prahk-toe-koh-LIE-tis] – inflammation in the lower intestine caused by an allergy to cow’s milk or soy proteins found in formula or breast milk

The symptoms of non-IgE mediated food allergies usually go away when the food allergen is removed from the infant’s diet.

There are other medical conditions besides food allergy that can cause symptoms in infants and toddlers. Examples include:

Lactose intolerance (an inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in cow’s milk)
Celiac disease (the immune system damages the small intestine when gluten protein found in wheat, rye, or barley is eaten)
Crohn’s disease (rare in infants/toddlers, but may cause diarrhea or low weight gain)

If your infant or toddler is having symptoms after eating foods, it is important to see a doctor to get accurately diagnosed.

Human Milk Is Beneficial

Human (breast) milk provides optimal nutrition for an infant. Even babies with food allergies can benefit from human milk. Very rarely, the food proteins pass through the milk and can cause symptoms in an infant or toddler. If this happens, the doctor may recommend the lactating parent avoid eating the foods their child is allergic to (sometimes known as an “elimination diet”). Most often nursing/breastfeeding/pumping can continue if the foods that trigger their child’s symptoms are removed from the from the breastfeeding mother’s or lactating parent’s diet. It is important to make sure you eat a healthy variety of foods. Seeing a registered dietitian can be helpful to plan how to replace nutrition that may be lost from avoiding specific foods.

If the child doesn’t have food allergy symptoms, no foods need to be removed from the diet of the lactating person.

Formula Options for Infants and Children with Food Allergies

If human milk isn’t an option, what formula should you introduce to your baby who is showing signs of allergy or intolerance? The formula you give your baby will depend on the condition they have.

Here are different types of formula available you can discuss with your child’s doctor.

Milk-Based Formulas (e.g., Similac® Advance®, Pro-Advance or Enfamil® NeuroPro®)

Milk-based formulas offer complete nutrition. But babies sometimes develop an allergy or intolerance to the cow’s milk in these formulas. These formulas are not recommended for children diagnosed with cow’s milk allergy. Cow’s milk allergy is one of the most common types of infant food allergy.

Soy Formulas (e.g., Similac® Soy Isomil®, Enfamil® ProSobee® or Gerber Good Start Soy®)

Soy formulas are no less allergenic than cow’s milk-based formulas. Eight to 14% of infants with cow’s milk allergy will react to soy. If your child has cow’s milk allergy, ask your child’s physician if a soy formula is recommended. These formulas are not recommended for children diagnosed with soy allergy.

If your infant has allergic proctocolitis or enterocolitis, they have a 25 to 60% chance of reacting to soy formulas. Other options below may be more appropriate for your child.

Partially Hydrolyzed Formulas (e.g., Enfamil NeuroPro™ Gentlease®, Gerber® Good Start® Gentle or Similac® Pro-Total Comfort™)

Partially hydrolyzed formulas take cow’s milk proteins (whey, casein) and break them into smaller pieces. Some formulas have a whey and casein blend that is partially hydrolyzed, while others may have 100% whey protein that is hydrolyzed. These formulas are NOT used for infants allergic to cow’s milk.

Extensively Hydrolyzed Formulas (e.g., Enfamil® Nutramigen®, Enfamil® Pregestimil®, Similac® Alimentum® or Similac® Expert Care®)

Extensively hydrolyzed formulas offer complete nutrition for infants who are allergic to cow’s milk protein. Casein is a cow’s milk protein that is a common cause for allergy symptoms. Extensively hydrolyzed formulas break casein into pieces. About 90% of babies with cow’s milk allergy will tolerate these formulas.

Amino Acid-Based Formulas (e.g., Neocate®, EleCare®, PurAmino™, Alfamino™)

Amino acid-based formulas offer complete nutrition for infants, toddlers and older children who need additional nutrition support. These formulas are appropriate for children who are unable to tolerate extensively hydrolyzed formulas. Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins. Because these formulas do not contain any intact proteins, they are tolerated by most children. Amino acid-based formulas are also known as “elemental” formulas.

Don’t make your own baby formula. Homemade formula may be harmful to your child. It may not provide your child with the right nutrition. It may cause dietary deficiencies. Infant formulas are carefully balanced to supply your child with the proper nutrition they need.

What Can I Do If I Can’t Afford Formula?

The cost of formula can add up. But there are options to help you cover the cost.

Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) – Low-income women and children under 5 may qualify for benefits under WIC. If you qualify, you may receive checks or vouchers so you can purchase formula. You can apply for WIC online or contact your local office. Each state’s WIC program has a list of which formula options they cover. Check with your local WIC office for more information.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – SNAP is another food assistance program for eligible families. This program provides a debit card that allows you to buy food in retail food stores.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) – TANF is a program funded by the Office of Family Assistance (OAF). OAF provides grants to various states to give temporary help to families in need. Check with your state’s assistance office to see if help is available.

Food banks – Many food banks distribute free formula. Feeding America has many locations throughout the U.S. Local nonprofit organizations and churches in your area may operate food banks as well.

Local resources (211) – Dial 211 on your phone to speak to someone in your community who may be able to direct you to local programs and resources.

Formula discount programs – Some formula companies have discount programs and coupons to help reduce the cost of formula.

Enfamil® coupons
Gerber® coupons
Nutramigen® savings and support
Similac® savings and reward program

Sample and assistance programs – Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or registered dietitian if you can’t afford your baby’s formula. They may be able to provide some samples or know of local assistance programs.

Insurance – Formula may be covered by your health insurance. If it is covered, it is usually covered as durable medical equipment (DME). You would get a prescription from your doctor to purchase it through a DME supplier that would file it with your insurance. Call your insurance company to find out if the formula is covered. For children with certain medical conditions, your doctor may be able to help you appeal for insurance to cover the costs.

Help From a Registered Dietitian (RD)

Although these formulas are suggested in children at least the first year, an RD can help to devise a nutritionally sound diet in children over one year with sufficient food intake and commercially available plant-based foods.

What to consider when choosing a hypoallergenic formula

If you need to choose a hypoallergenic formula for your baby, pay attention to the following criteria:

Age. When buying formula, be sure to consider what age it is intended for.
Composition. Read the ingredients list on the packaging. There should not be components that can cause an allergy in a child.
Expiration date. Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date of the product and try not to buy large packages of the mixture: if you open a jar or bag, the expiration date immediately decreases.
Cost. Expensive mix isn't always the best, so don't go after the most advertised products. It often happens that an inexpensive mixture is perfect for a baby and does not cause allergies.

If you notice an allergy in your child, do not run to buy hypoallergenic formula based on reviews on the Internet or on the advice of a friend. Everything is individual. Therefore, show the child to the pediatrician - only he, after examination and examination, can prescribe proper nutrition for your baby.
