Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A specialized hydrolyzed protein formula is often recommended for infants with suspected protein intolerance because the proteins in the formula are broken down into smaller units, making them easier for the infant to digest and less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Soy formula may not be suitable as some infants with protein intolerance may also be intolerant to soy proteins. Breastfeeding may not be an option for all families, and cow's milk formula is not recommended for infants under one year of age. IV fluids with a fat replacement would not be a solution for protein intolerance.
