They do this by breaking milk proteins into smaller pieces. How far the proteins are broken down is what separates the three main types below. Partially hydrolyzed Extensively hydrolyzed Amino acid-based Proteins are broken into smaller pieces to reduce allergenicity while supporting digestion. Often chosen for babies at higher allergy risk, or parents who want a gentler routine formula. Proteins are broken down much further. Used for babies with a moderate cow's milk allergy. Usually started on a pediatrician's advice after a diagnosis. No intact proteins at all. Complete nutrition built from amino acids for severe allergies. Used under close medical supervision. At BabyBest: HiPP HA (Combiotik) At BabyBest: Aptamil Pepti Specialist formulas, such as Neocate and EleCare Good to know before you choose "HA"formulas are designedtobe gentler.They are generally not intended to treat a diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy.

They take two minutes and prevent most mix-ups. Check the stage Look past the word 'HA' Prepare exactly as directed Find the protein type Check freshness and seals Read the whole ingredient list Match the number on the tin (PRE, 1, 2) to your baby's age. HA2 is for babies from 6+ months. Use the water amount and level scoops on the tin. Never dilute or concentrate the formula. HA means a gentler, lower-allergen recipe. It is not a treatment for a diagnosed milk allergy. Check for added sugars and ingredients your pediatrician has asked you to avoid. Look for 'hydrolyzed' on the label. Partially and extensively hydrolyzed formulas are not interchangeable. Look at the best-before date and make sure the tin or bottle arrives sealed. Switching formulas? Keep a simple feeding diary Fora weekor twoafterany change, jot down daily:numberof feeds, stool changes, skin changes, spit-up and sleep. A short, dated record makes your next pediatrician visit far more useful.
