Recently, infant hydrolyzed milk powder is relatively hot, so many mothers want to choose hydrolyzed milk powder for their babies when they hear that the molecules of hydrolyzed milk powder are small and easy to absorb.
To be honest, many parents do not understand clearly what hydrolyzed milk powder is when choosing hydrolyzed milk powder for their babies, so they blindly choose. To choose the right formula for your baby, you first need to understand what hydrolyzed milk powder is. Hydrolyzed protein is processed by hydrolysis process, the complete macromolecular protein is cut, into a small molecule of protein or even free amino acids, the use of hydrolyzed protein as a protein source of milk powder is called hydrolyzed protein milk powder. Such milk powder can reduce the burden on the baby's intestines, and for babies with milk protein allergies, hydrolyzed milk powder can indeed alleviate allergy symptoms.
That is to say, only the "milk protein allergy" of the baby can drink hydrolyzed milk powder, especially the deep hydrolyzed formula is in the baby has been diagnosed with milk protein allergy, the doctor prescribed a prescription to eat, is a therapeutic formula, but also can not eat hydrolyzed protein formula for a long time, after the symptoms are relieved need to be gradually converted back to the complete protein milk powder.
However, many times, the adverse reaction when the baby drinks milk is not an allergy to cow's milk protein. According to relevant literature reports, the incidence of infant diarrhea caused by cow's milk protein allergy is only 0.83% to 3.5%, which means that only a very small number of babies' diarrhea is caused by cow's milk protein allergy. Most babies have diarrhea for other reasons, such as lactose intolerance, infection with rotavirus, norovirus or other pathogenic bacteria that are more prevalent in autumn and winter. If the baby has an adverse reaction, be sure to seek medical attention in time, rather than directly giving the baby baby hydrolyzed milk powder.
The reason why it is necessary to confirm in advance whether the baby is allergic to milk protein can decide whether to give the baby hydrolyzed milk powder, mainly because healthy babies cannot eat hydrolyzed protein milk powder for a long time. Hydrolyzed milk powder may not only have a slight bitter taste in the taste, it is difficult for babies to accept, and the price is more expensive than ordinary formula milk powder.
In addition to the reasons for price and taste, the reason why healthy babies are not recommended to consume hydrolyzed milk powder for a long time is also due to the following reasons. First, the so-called hydrolyzed protein does not exist in our breast milk, so hydrolyzed protein milk powder is not a choice that fits breast milk, nor is it naturally suitable for babies; the second is that healthy babies have normal digestion and absorption capacity for milk protein, and long-term drinking is hydrolyzed protein, so the small intestines and stomach cannot get exercise, but will affect the development of intestinal digestive function. Not only can not promote the baby's digestive system, but also may affect the baby's growth and development, I believe many mothers have been very clear, why can not give healthy babies to drink hydrolyzed milk powder.
However, if the baby is indeed allergic to cow's milk protein after examination by the doctor, parents need to choose the appropriate hydrolyzed milk powder for the baby under the advice of the doctor. For the mother, when choosing milk powder for the baby, you must not blindly follow the trend, but choose the milk powder suitable for the baby according to the actual situation of the baby.
