East Moons Moat, Redditch -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/20/2011 -- Breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for babies and can also help to prevent certain infections in babies, in some cases - even with dietary changes by the mother - infants who are breastfeeding will still be unable to tolerate feeding in this manner. Other infants who may be on a formula diet already will also need another way to feed, without ingesting the cow’s milk proteins that they are allergic to.

In these cases, there are hypoallergenic formulas available. Hypoallergenic formulas are available in two main types. The first are extensively hydrolysed formulas. These contain cow's milk proteins that are broken down into small particles so they're less allergenic than the whole proteins in regular formulas. Most infants who have a milk allergy can tolerate these formulas, but in some cases, they still provoke allergic reactions. Secondly, are amino acid-based infant formulas, which contain protein in its simplest form (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins), making it easier for the body to process and digest.

Amino acid-based formulas, such as Neocate Advance and Neocate LCP, are the least likely to trigger your infant’s milk allergy. Amino acid-based formulas, such as Neocate - which is available from online pharmacy chemist.net - contain all the essential nutrients for your baby's growth and development. Trials have also shown that it can exceed the growth performance of other formulas which are available on the market. Further to this, scientific studies have shown that, when compared to protein hydrolysed formulas, amino acid-based formulas achieved better growth in length and was also shown to be the only formula type to promote catch up growth in these children.

Neocate LCP is a hypoallergenic, nutritional infant feed, to help manage the diet of children with cow's milk and other food allergies. It provides a rapid relief from the symptoms of food allergies and can ensure an optimal growth result in children. It has can also be used from birth. Neocate Advance is a hypoallergenic, nutritionally complete formula, which consists of a mixture of amino acids, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, to provide the perfect nutritional balance for children with food allergies. It is for use in children over one year.

It is important to recognise the signs of a milk allergy in your child and get this diagnosed as quickly as possible. Once an allergy has been diagnosed, the best nutritional feeding method needs to be chosen. Amino acid-based formulas, such as Neocate, provide a real solution for infants with milk allergies who are unable to breast feed.
