Babies with cow's milk allergy have been drinking—and enjoying—Nutramigen formula for 70 years. Remember, your baby's taste buds are more receptive to new flavors than yours. In fact, after seven months on a Nutramigen diet, most babies prefer the taste of this formula over routine ones.
Both Nutramigen with Enflora LGG and PurAmino have all of the essential vitamins and nutrients infants need for healthy growth and development, including iron, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and D. Both formulas also contain a special blend of omega-3 (DHA) and omega-6 (ARA) essential fatty acids that has been shown to promote brain and eye development.2 Infants with cow's milk allergy who are fed Nutramigen with Enflora LGG also benefit from a probiotic called lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or LGG. These helpful bacteria have been widely studied in babies with cow's milk allergy.3
After 12 months on a diet of Nutramigen with Enflora LGG, 81 percent of babies with cow's milk allergy tolerated cow's milk protein.4 Previous research suggested that most children wouldn't outgrow cow's milk allergy until age five.5
Nutramigen with Enflora LGG is clinically proven to ease colic due to cow's milk allergy fast, often within 48 hours.†6 Infants with cow's milk allergy who consume PurAmino also enjoy quick relief: 100 percent of infants fed PurAmino experience no allergic reactions or adverse events.7
The special formulations of Nutramigen with Enflora LGG and PurAmino give these hypoallergenic formulas an unusual aroma. The scent is more noticeable to you than to your little one, whose sense of smell is still developing.
It's not uncommon for infant stools to vary in color from day to day (and even from diaper to diaper). Color changes may be more noticeable, though, when your baby switches formulas, including a transition to a hypoallergenic formula such as Nutramigen with Enflora LGG or PurAmino. Generally, stools that have an earth-tone color—yellow, green, brown, or tan—are normal. Call your pediatrician if the stools are white, red or black.
Nutritionally complete Nutramigen with Enflora LGG and PurAmino can serve as sole sources of nourishment until your baby is six months old. There is no need to switch formulas if your baby takes PurAmino because it is formulated as a sole source of nutrition for infants up to six months, and as a major source of nutrition through two years.10 Your baby should remain on PurAmino hypoallergenic formula for as long as your doctor recommends. You should introduce your baby to foods made with cow's milk only while under a doctor's supervision.11
The scientific process involved in making formulas safe and hypoallergenic for infants with cow's milk allergy is extensive and costly. In addition, both Nutramigen with Enflora LGG and PurAmino are continually monitored and researched to ensure their potential for causing cow's milk allergy symptoms remains low while their nutritional value stays high. This adds extra expense.
