If your child has allergies, choosing the right formula can be difficult. While others can choose any brand they want, you find yourself scanning menus like a crab.
You may have more options than you think. There are several allergy relievers available from European brands – with the added benefit that these formulas do not contain pesticides, hormones and harmful additives that can cause severe irritation to already existing guts.
What are their food allergies?
Allergies are when a harmless (or beneficial) substance is seen by the immune system as dangerous. The immune system attacks it, which leads to reactions such as breathing, swelling, vomiting and even anaphylactic shock (although this rarely happens in babies).
Food sensitivities or intolerances are common but less common than allergies. It happens when the stomach can’t break down or react to certain foods – supplements are the cause. Symptoms usually include constipation, diarrhea, vomiting and/or abdominal pain.
3 allergy friendly ones you can try
There are several European formulas that are specially formulated for babies with allergies and sensitivities.
If your child has been diagnosed with allergies, we encourage you to talk with your children before choosing a treatment option. We do not sell products for children with CMPA.
HiPP Hypoallergenic
HiPP Hypoallergenic they are made especially for babies who are at risk of allergies or have shown signs of sensitivity to cow’s milk proteins. It comes in three categories – Stage Pre for 0-3 months, Part 1 for 0-6 months and Part 2 for 6-12 months.
It is made with natural cow’s milk, which is treated to break down the proteins that cause allergic reactions – providing you with all the nutrients of the regular HiPP, while reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Some allergy medications are soy-based, but babies who are allergic to cow’s milk often also contain soy.
In addition, HiPP Hypoallergenic contains pre and probiotics made from breast milk, which can help your baby have the right bacteria in their intestines, making digestion easier. This can be especially helpful for babies born via c-section, which can disrupt bowel movements.
Stage Pre does not contain starch, as newborns have difficulty digesting starch, and all HiPP Hypoallergenic versions are free of gluten, egg and peanut oil. They use fish oil to make omega 3 and 6 fatty acids essential for the brain.
HiPP comfort
HiPP comfort It is not suitable for children with severe asthma, but it is designed to help children with sensitive intestines who may have trouble breaking down milk proteins or be lactose intolerant. It can help reduce colic, bloating and constipation.
It reduces lactose and contains hydrolyzed whey protein. These are small milk proteins that are easy to digest. It also contains beta-palmitate, an easily digestible fat similar to the fat found in breast milk.
Like HiPP Hypoallergenic, it contains pre and probiotics, omega 3 and 6 from fish oil, and is gluten, egg and nut free.
Goat milk products
All of them The Loud Goat and Nannycare these formulas are made with goat’s milk instead of cow’s milk. Goat’s milk is naturally close to breast milk and is easier to digest than cow’s milk, which contains small particles that can break down many babies.
Goat’s milk may be suitable for those who are allergic to cow’s milk, and it may also be beneficial for those who are allergic to it.
Both Holle Goat and Nannycare are gluten, soy, egg and nut free. Holle Goat is also fish oil free, while Nannycare uses natural fish oil. Nannycare is starch-free, but Holle Goat contains starch.
What if my pediatrician can recommend an alternative to help you avoid a certain problem?
We have found that many doctors are not familiar with organic formulas in Europe, and often prescribe a high corn or soy based formula. This can help with coughs in some children, but is often not the best way to eat.
