Often, babies with milk protein allergies will try several formulas before finding one that actually works. Here’s a run-down of formulas for you. Hydrolysate (Extensively Hydrolyzed) Formula: Nutramigen and Alimentum are hydrolysate formulas.

We provide more information regarding formula transition in our transition guide—“A Guide to Transitioning.” Please note that unlike...
