In the process of feeding the baby, some mothers may find that the baby will have symptoms such as urticaria, diarrhea, eczema, even vomiting and persistent crying as soon as it is fed. What's going on here? In fact, this is the performance of milk allergy, suggesting that the baby is allergic to milk. So, what if the baby is allergic to milk?

Once the baby is allergic to milk, the original food should be stopped immediately, and the symptoms will be relieved immediately. After the baby grows to 5-6 months, the development of intestinal mucosa is basically perfect, and the allergy naturally disappears. Babies who are allergic to milk can stop feeding milk and its products for a period of time and adopt milk substitutes until the baby's intestinal mucosa is fully developed.

Steps/methods

1

Breastfeeding your baby:

The baby is allergic to milk. If you are breast-feeding, then your mother should limit the intake of some dairy products, because protein, the milk that may cause allergies, may enter breast milk and cause allergies to babies. You also need to consult your doctor to find food sources that can replace calcium and other important nutrients in dairy products.

Milk powder feeding baby

If you feed your baby milk powder, you'd better choose soy protein milk powder. If the baby can't accept soy, the doctor will advise you to choose low antigen formula. Protein contained in this milk powder has been broken down into small particles, which makes it easier for the baby to absorb and reduces the chance of allergic reaction.

Desensitization therapy improves allergy

If the baby has a mild allergic reaction to milk, desensitization therapy can be used. The specific method is: if the baby has allergic symptoms, stop using the original food for 2 weeks and use milk substitutes, such as milk cake powder, rice flour or goat milk. After two weeks, try to feed the baby with this milk 1 time, and the trial amount is about 10 ml (about 2 tablespoons). If there is a slight allergic reaction, as long as it does not affect the baby's health, you can feed the baby 15 ml of milk every three days. And so on, increase 5- 10 ml every 3 days. With the increase of milk quantity, the baby's allergic symptoms are not aggravated and gradually relieved, so the feeding interval can be shortened while increasing milk quantity until normal feeding is resumed. This method can make the baby gradually adapt to milk drinks without causing nutritional imbalance. This method is suitable for most babies who are allergic to milk.
