Detailed explanation-1: -Around 90% of infants with cow’s milk allergy do well with an extensively hydrolysed formula such as Nutramigen with LGG®. The cow’s milk protein in Nutramigen with LGG® has been broken down or hydrolysed into small pieces so that they are, in most cases, less likely to cause allergic reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nutramigen 1 with LGG® is an extensively hydrolysed, hypoallergenic formula for the dietary management of cow’s milk allergy From birth. Can be used as sole source of nutrition from 0-6 months and as part of a weaning diet from 6 months.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrolysate (Extensively Hydrolyzed) Formula: Nutramigen and Alimentum are hydrolysate formulas. Although these formulas are hypoallergenic, the protein in these formulas is only not fully broken down. Therefore, allergic reactions can still occur when on this formula.
Detailed explanation-4: -You can still breastfeed or chestfeed your baby even if you suspect that they have a cow’s milk allergy. But to avoid passing on the proteins that trigger the allergy through your breast milk, you must eliminate cow’s milk and dairy foods like ice cream, cheese, and yogurt from your diet.
