THE PROBLEM: COW’S MILK PROTEIN ALLERGY
We know you might be dealing with stress, but there is help. Unsure what this allergy means for your child? Cow’s milk protein allergy is an allergy that can affect infants and children, but don’t worry, the right formula can help. This allergy results from a hypersensitivity of the body’s immune system to the proteins in cow’s milk, and can show up as an allergic reaction in different parts of the body. Most babies who suffer from cow’s milk protein allergy outgrow it within their first year, and others by the time they are 3 years old. While not all baby allergies are related to diet, cow’s milk protein allergies can be managed either by eliminating milk and milk products for breastfeeding women or by a hypoallergenic (extensively hydrolyzed) formula such as Nutramigen® A+® with LGG®. It’s natural to be worried, but there’s a solution that can give you more peace of mind!
