Nutramigen® is a hypoallergenic formula that is specifically designed for infants with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA).
Nutramigen® relieves colic due to cow's milk allergy fast.
Please note that Nutramigen® should only be used under the direction and guidance of your pediatrician, as it is intended for infants with CMPA.
The difference between Nutramigen® which is a hypoallergenic formula, and gentle formulas, is how milk proteins are broken down.
Formula Name | Protein Type | Purpose |
Nutramigen® | Extensively-hydrolyzed | Hypoallergenic formula, designed for babies with cow’s milk protein allergy |
Enfamil Gentlease | Partially hydrolyzed | Designed to ease general fussiness and gas |
Always check with your pediatrician before switching baby formulas. If your baby has a cow’s milk protein allergy, your doctor might recommend an immediate switch to Nutramigen®, and while many babies have no issues switching formulas, it’s also not uncommon for babies to take 3 to 5 days to become used to a new formula, especially hypoallergenic formulas, which can smell and taste different from breast milk and other formulas. You may notice this difference when you open a container and make the formula for the first time too!
Once your baby begins to realize the new formula doesn’t cause the same sort of discomfort, they may become less collicky and more eager to feed again!
