CMPA reaction to nutramigen formula

With nutramigin its 10% so if baby has a full allergy symptoms will come bavk 10-14 days after starting so take baby back to gp or hospital explain and they will probs put on the next level up milk iv just been through it with my little one xxx

I would sudgest aswell if they put him on a diff milk to ask for thickner my baby was put onto alphamino after and it was way to thin she was bringing up the whole bottle so had to get her thickner and she drinks it fine now xxx

Thankyou it all seems like trial and error. Hope we find something that suitable for him soon he has such a sore bottom too 😭 xxx

my little girl was exactly like that it really is trial and error and is so heartbreaking when there so little going through so much but fingers crossed they will get it sorted for him🤞xxxx

Would definitely say to try them on a different milk! My LO is on aptamil pepti so not sure how that compares to the nutramigin but there are definitely different options out there

Thankyou. Is that the first milk your little one has been tried on? I’m really hoping we don’t have to keep trying lots of different things, since doing research on different groups it all seems so complex 🤯 xx

We had the same. Was put on pepti which improved the symptoms then they started to get worse again. We’re now ok on Pureamino

They're on the same level with both being extensively hydrolysed formulas. Only difference being that Pepti is whey-based and Nutramigen is casein-based in terms of the milk protein they contain.

Usually you would try one of each before moving on to an amino-acid formula, which is completely dairy-free. Unless baby reacted to breast milk as well as it's on a similar level as EHF milks for the amount of milk protein. If that's the case then you would usually try one EHF formula and then an amino-acid formula or go straight to amino-acid formula

I’m assuming alphamino is an amino acid formula my baby was only tried on nutramagin before being put on in any idea why?xx

Yes, Alfamino is amino-acid. It might've been severity of the reaction or doctor just trying to be proactive. Had they reacted to breast milk as well? X

no she was only ever formula fed she did have a bit on bloody mucus in her poo but only once her symptoms were bad but I wouldn’t say severe maybe it was due to the bloody mucus x

My little girl was initially good on Nutramigen but it stopped working for her. We started on Nutramigen which is casein based then SMA Althera which is whey based and now are on SMA Alfamino which is an amino acid. She is 100x better now than when she was on the other ones

Hello, sorry I know this is a an old post but what was the outcome?
My son was out on nutramigen for a suspected cows milk allergy at 2 weeks. It’s now been over a week and he has all the symptoms you have listed. My eldest son had CMPA and was on Nutramigen for a week and settled down pretty quick but with my second he seems so unsettled and constantly on and off crying 😩
