Abstract

The article focuses on the efficacy of extensively hydrolyzed whey-based formulas (EHWF) in managing mild to moderate allergy symptoms and malabsorption disorders in infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA). A review of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) found that EHWFs, such as Nutribaby Royal Pepti and Nutrilon Pepti, are well tolerated by most infants with CMA and effectively reduce allergic manifestations including skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal symptoms. While no direct evidence was found on EHWF's impact on malabsorption symptoms, one study indicated that infants fed EHWF showed normal growth consistent with World Health Organization standards, suggesting adequate nutritional absorption. The findings support EHWF as a suitable dietary alternative when breastfeeding is insufficient for infants with CMA.
