What kind of milk powder is good for babies with protein allergy

If your baby is allergic to cow's milk protein, hydrolyzed amino acid protein milk powder is the best choice. It is a prescription food abroad and requires a doctor's prescription. In China, parents basically buy it on their own. It is best to see the nutrition department first, choose the right milk powder based on the nutrition department's advice, conduct regular check-ups, and reduce or stop the use of hydrolyzed amino acid milk powder when appropriate, and gradually transition to normal feeding.

Can I drink goat milk powder if I am allergic to protein?

There are many types of protein allergies. Whether people with protein allergies can drink goat milk depends on whether the goat milk does not contain the allergenic protein. The content of allergenic proteins αS1-casein and β-lactoglobulin in goat milk is relatively low, so only people who are allergic to these two proteins can drink goat milk.

Therefore, choosing goat milk may not be helpful, and the nutritional value of goat milk is not as good as that of cow milk.

Cow's milk protein allergy is caused by large molecular proteins. Children who are allergic to cow's milk and other proteins are likely to be allergic to goat's milk. It is safer to choose hydrolyzed protein formula milk.

In addition, foods that people with protein allergies should not eat include eggs, soybeans, wheat, nuts, peanuts and fish, including some yogurt, etc., so you need to be careful.

What is protein allergy

Protein allergy is a phenomenon in which certain fragments of protein trigger the body's "over-defense", leading to a series of reactions in the body, the most serious of which may be life-threatening.

There are countless proteins in nature, and each protein is different. For a specific person, the protein he is allergic to is certain, and he may be allergic to all proteins. For example, some people are allergic to milk protein, but not to other proteins; some people are allergic to peanut protein, but not to other proteins...

There are eight types of proteins that are most likely to cause allergies, called the "eight major allergens", namely milk, eggs, peanuts, fish, shrimp and crabs, soybeans and wheat. Some people are allergic to more than one allergen, and some people are allergic to foods other than these eight allergens. However, there are no reports of people being allergic to all proteins.
