3. Countermeasures and feeding suggestions

1.Seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis: If you suspect that your baby has a protein allergy, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the allergen through a blood test or skin prick test.

2.Strictly avoid allergens: After diagnosis, you need to completely avoid foods containing allergens. When reading food labels, pay attention to the "may contain" prompts.

3.Choose alternatives scientifically:

  • Breastfeeding: Mothers need to avoid related allergens
  • Formula feeding: choose deeply hydrolyzed or amino acid formula
  • Complementary food introduction: Start with low-allergy risk foods, such as rice and vegetables

4.Nutritional supplements: Avoiding diet may lead to a lack of certain nutrients. Calcium, vitamin D, etc. should be supplemented under the guidance of a doctor.

Research shows that early and moderate exposure may reduce the risk of allergies, but only under professional guidance.

Parents should remain patient, follow up regularly, and do not try to desensitize themselves.
