For Food Allergies and Colic Due to Protein Sensitivity
While sensitivity to the protein in both milk-based and soy-based baby formulas is uncommon, it's good to know there is a trusted alternative. If your baby’s digestive system is especially sensitive and requires an extra-gentle baby formula, ask your physician about Similac Expert Care Alimentum Hypoallergenic Formula.
Similac Expert Care Alimentum starts to reduce colic symptoms* in most babies in just 24 hours.† It’s easy for sensitive babies to digest because its protein is broken down into tiny pieces to virtually eliminate allergic reactions in most babies who are allergic to cow’s milk protein.
Signs of Protein Sensitivity
Some babies have long crying spells and cannot be easily comforted. This excessive crying or fussiness is sometimes called colic, and may be due to a sensitivity to the protein. Other symptoms such as severe diarrhea, rashes, and even sleeping problems also can be caused by protein sensitivity.
As with all feeding decisions during the first year, consult your baby's health care professional.
