Can babies with milk protein allergy eat breast milk?

Patient's question:

Can babies with milk protein allergy eat breast milk?

Doctor's answer:

The baby is allergic to cow's milk and can drink goat's milk. Goat's milk is the closest dairy product to human milk. It is not only nutritionally complete but also very easy to digest and absorb. The protein structure of goat's milk is very similar to that of human milk, containing a large amount of whey protein and lacking certain allergenic proteins found in cow's milk. Therefore, infants of any constitution can tolerate goat's milk. For the baby's condition, it is best to feed them with specialized infant anti-diarrheal formula, also known as hypoallergenic formula. Pay attention to adding as few other ingredients to the diet as possible. Do not continue taking the bifidobacterium live culture powder.
