Can babies with protein allergy eat breast milk?

If a baby is allergic to protein, it will often cause physical discomfort and may even develop some serious chronic diseases. Therefore, mothers must pay attention to their baby's health issues and try not to give babies with protein allergies foods that are high in protein, such as eggs, milk, seafood, etc. They can still eat breast milk. If the child has adverse reactions and symptoms of discomfort after eating breast milk, you should consult a doctor and follow the doctor's advice.

What is protein allergy?

Everyone knows about food allergies, but not many people know what protein allergies are. Protein allergy refers to an abnormal immune response of the human immune system to specific foods. Generally speaking, after the protein in food enters the body, it is mistaken by the immune system for a viral invasion, which causes rejection, and the allergic reaction manifests itself in symptoms such as skin redness, swelling, and diarrhea. This is a protein allergy.

The difference between protein allergy and other food allergies is that protein allergy only refers to the allergic symptoms caused by protein intake. Protein allergy is more common in infants. Because the intestinal system and immune system of infants are not mature, and infants cannot absorb high-protein foods normally, they will experience body rejection.

Generally speaking, babies are breastfed, and when they first come into contact with high-protein foods, such as eggs, milk, and seafood, the baby's gastrointestinal system cannot withstand and adapt to such foods, so allergic symptoms occur.

Baby protein allergy is a more serious allergy problem. Since many nutritious foods are high-protein foods, in order to ensure that the baby has adequate nutrition but cannot eat these foods, you need to seek help from a doctor to solve the problem of protein allergy.
