Why are babies allergic? As the immune system and intestinal tract of small babies are still immature, foreign proteins can easily enter the baby’s body and cause allergies. Cow’s milk protein is a common foreign protein for babies. When babies eat formula milk, the immune system of the body, which is not fully developed, thinks that the proteins in the milk are “foreign” invaders and attacks them, and babies will suffer from allergic symptoms, such as rashes, diarrhea and constipation. Can baby allergies be prevented? Genes, immature immune system and intestinal system, as well as environmental factors such as the use of antibiotics, food, etc. are all factors that influence the development of allergies in babies. Genetic factors cannot be changed, and the immune system and intestinal system will gradually develop and mature as the baby grows. However, we can effectively intervene by recognizing the environmental factors at an early stage, and carry out prevention of allergic diseases in babies and children starting from pregnancy to reduce the occurrence of allergies in babies and children. Choosing normal delivery as much as possible during labor and exclusive breastfeeding as much as possible for 6 months after birth are measures to reduce allergies. If breastmilk is insufficient, hypoallergenic formulas such as moderately hydrolyzed formulas can be chosen. Why does moderately hydrolyzed formula help reduce the risk of allergy? Moderately hydrolyzed formula is a formula that has undergone a hydrolysis process that turns milk proteins from large molecules into small molecules and has been clinically proven to be effective in reducing the risk of allergy. According to the different degrees of hydrolysis, they can be divided into 3 categories: moderately hydrolyzed, deeply hydrolyzed and completely hydrolyzed amino acid milk powder, with the degree of hydrolysis from low to high. 1, moderately hydrolyzed formula. It is a hypoallergenic formula. This kind of milk powder is through high-tech protein hydrolysis process, the high allergenicity of ordinary milk protein into hypoallergenic small molecule proteins, which can reduce the risk of baby allergies. The benefit of moderately hydrolyzed milk powder is that it retains the proper allergenicity, giving the baby’s immune system a mild stimulation, and the risk of future allergies is greatly reduced. 2, deeply hydrolyzed formula milk powder. Also belongs to hypoallergenic formula. It refers to the large molecules of milk protein into short peptides and amino acid structure, lower allergenicity, need to be used under the guidance of a doctor. 3, amino acid milk powder. Amino acid milk powder belongs to the “non-allergic formula” milk powder. The ingredients are all amino acids, which seldom cause allergies. Amino acid is the basic unit of protein, the human body after ingestion of food protein, the body needs to be broken down into amino acids, in order to be absorbed and utilized by the body, applicable to the treatment of milk allergy, need to be used under the guidance of a doctor. Can I use Moderate Hydrolyzed Protein Milk Powder for a long time if my baby is at high risk of allergy and has insufficient breastmilk? Moderate Hydrolyzed Protein Powder can be used for long term use and clinical research evidence supports normal growth and development of infants.
