Question
How long does it take for a baby to outgrow milk protein allergy?
Answer
If a baby is allergic to milk protein and is not being breastfed, an increase in bowel movements and severe eczema may occur. In such cases, you can opt for extensively hydrolyzed protein formula. This formula breaks down the large milk protein molecules into smaller fragments, significantly reducing the allergenic components of milk protein, thereby lowering the allergenicity of the modified milk protein. Generally, improvements can be seen within three to four days. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an allergen test to check for other allergic conditions.
