Everyone can have an allergy to cow's milk, but this kind of case is more common in infants. Why is that? Listening to the explanation dr. Tessi Ananditya, the nanny at www.alodokter.com, said: "Cow milk allergy is a condition in which the immune system is wrong in recognizing milk proteins into something that needs to be resisted, so babies who are allergic to cow's milk can turn into fussy, rose, flatulence, diarrhea and even vomiting. " However, it is not only cow's milk that can cause allergies but also goat, sheep and buffalo milk.

In addition, there is also micro selenium is very good for the development of the baby's body. "
2. Soy formulas milk
Quoted from the pages of the Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI), the nutritional content of soy formula is equivalent to cow's milk, which is 3.5% protein, 2% fat, and 2.9% carbohydrates. Although it does not contain cow's milk, there is still a cross-reaction between cow's milk protein and soy milk protein, so that 10-14% of infants can still be allergic to this milk user. Provision of soy milk as a substitute for cow's milk is only allowed through the advice of doctors with special circumstances such as economic problems, infants cannot match other formula milk or the existence of special rules such as vegetarian diet suggestions.
