Cow's milk is for cows, not for colicky babies

COPING WITH COLIC

I was talking to my friend yesterday and he was recounting back to the days when his kids were just infants and the topic of Colic came up.

He was sharing with us his experiences and one of the part where a senior consultant told him that Cow's milk is for cow got me thinking.

A few google searches later, i found this website.

some points taken fromthe website

3. The colic-cow's milk connection. New research supports what old wives tales have long suspected: some breastfed babies become colicky if their mothers drink cow's milk. That's because potentially allergenic protein called beta-lactoglobulin in cow's milk is transferred to baby through the breastmilk. This allergen upsets the intestines as if the baby had directly ingested the cow's milk.

4. Formula allergies. Babies fed a cow's-milk-based formula may become colicky if they're allergic to the protein or can't tolerate the lactose in cow's milk. If a formula allergy is suspected, a hypoallergenic formula (Alimentum, Nutramigen, or Pregestamil) or a lactose-free formula may be recommended by your doctor. The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition does not recommend changing to soy formula, since studies have shown that colicky infants do not improve when switching from cow's milk to soy formulas.
