What to do if you are allergic to infant formula
A kid, like an adult, needs food. Ideal for newborns suits breast milk (up to 6 months of the other nothing and not necessary). But, unfortunately, this is not always possible for a number of reasons. Therefore, the alternative are various infant formulas.
What is an allergy in a child and the reasons for its occurrence
Very often in children up to a year can be observedAn allergy (reaction of an organism to any substance). Recently, this phenomenon has become much more frequent due to many factors (poor ecology, food consumed by a woman during pregnancy, heredity, etc.). The allergy is everyday (contact - for washing powder, diapers, care products, etc.) and food (for food). When a baby's rash appears on the skin, it is necessary to exclude all the options to begin with. And only after making sure that this is really for food, is it to solve the issue with him. If the baby is breastfed or mixed (and mother's milk and mixture), then you need to make sure that the nursing mother does not eat anything forbidden from food (chocolate, citrus fruits, honey, etc.). When the baby is allergic, eating only the mixture - there is only an option in it, or rather the component that is part of it. Because Modern mixtures are trying to adapt to breast milk, providing a full meal with all the necessary vitamins and minerals, it is possible that the reaction can be on any of these substances. It is difficult to determine, but it is most often found on the protein of cow's milk, which is included in most infant formulas. What to do if you are allergic to a baby formula
Usually the mixture is allergic to the followingway: constipation, diarrhea, regurgitation, intestinal colic, dermatitis. In some cases, there may be a more severe form with shortness of breath (it is necessary to urgently call an ambulance). Sometimes, on the advice of the pediatrician, it is enough to simply change the proportions when preparing the mixture (reduce the amount of dry matter diluted in water) or simply change it to another. It sometimes helps the option of using food with probiotics or fermented milk, helping with digestion, because often allergies are caused by dysbiosis. If the rashes are strong enough, then you can go to the mixture, cooked in goat milk (which by nutritional value is not inferior to the cow, but it rarely gives a reaction). When these actions have not yielded any results, there remains an option or soy mixtures (which contain not animal, but vegetable protein) or special therapeutic hypoallergenic, which the doctor will appoint you. When introducing artificial nutrition, you need to remember that the transition should not be sharp (given one day the mixture is allergy, the next one is another). It happens that the body gets used to a new diet and for this it needs to give time (from 5 days). If none of these actions help and the allergy does not pass, then the child is transferred to a mixture of Nutrilon Amino acids, which does not contain any protein (instead of it goes a set of essential amino acids). Often the baby overgrows all these problems (when the digestive system is formed, the main thing is not to aggravate the situation and not bring to a more serious condition.) And it is necessary to consult with specialists.
