Many new mothers choose to substitute formula for breastfeeding their newborns, but they may subsequently find that their baby has an allergic reaction to the formula, which confuses many parents. This is because the symptoms of formula allergy in infants can be quite similar to other common discomforts, and without relevant knowledge, it may lead to difficulties in judgment. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand the basic symptoms of baby formula allergy for timely identification and appropriate measures.
Common symptoms of baby formula allergy include:
Frequent diarrhea: While diarrhea is a common physical response in babies, if it occurs frequently and persists, the possibility of formula allergy should be considered.
Vomiting outside of mealtimes: Frequent vomiting during times outside of normal feeding times may also be a signal of formula allergy.
Skin rashes: Rashes are easily identifiable, but they can be caused by various factors. However, if they occur alongside diarrhea and vomiting, they can generally be confirmed as being caused by formula allergy.
Prolonged excessive crying: If the baby continues to cry and is difficult to soothe, it may also be a manifestation of an allergy.
Slow growth or weight loss, as well as abdominal bloating, are also warning signs of formula allergy.
After understanding these symptoms, if your baby frequently consumes formula and shows signs of discomfort, you should be alert. Timely adjustments to the type of formula or considering switching to breastfeeding are important measures to take responsibility for the baby’s health.
