Allergy, soy milk

5 views

Allergy, soy milk: Soy protein formulas contain no cow milk and are therefore reasonable alternatives for infants with true cow milk allergy.</P> However, some infants have allergy to both cow milk and soy proteins.

These infants require a formula in which the cow milk protein (casein) has been 'predigested' and specific amino acids added to provide a formula that can provide proper nutrition.</P> The decision to utilize one of these specialized formulas should be made in consultation with the infant's pediatrician.
