Why Formula Milk is not the right choice for your
baby?

• Few Scientific Reasons Why Formula Milk is Not
  Considered as Good as Breast Milk
• Increased risk of various infections The study
  revealed that infants who take formula milk are
  more susceptible to various gastrointestinal
  diseases, NEC, respiratory infections, etc.
• Less cognitive development Formula-fed children
  score less on IQ tests as compared to breast-fed
  children due to the presence of more DHA in
  breast milk.
• Risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)
  According to the Oklahoma breastfeeding center
  risk of SIDS increased twice in infants who are
  on formula milk as compared to infants who are
  breastfeeding.
• Increased risk of obesity The study revealed
  that the risk of obesity in later life increased
  in infants who are formula milk fed by 20- 30.
  (Infant feeding practice and obesity risk,
  pediatrics, 2005)
• Weaker immune system Research revealed that
  infants who are formula milk fed have weaker
  immune systems as pathogenic bacteria increased
  and beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacterium,
  levels reduced in them.
• Increased risk of Chronic diseases As compared
  to infants fed on breast milk, formula milk-fed
  infants are at greater risk of developing
  cardiovascular diseases, type- 2 diabetes, etc.

Casein Protein Allergy

• In milk, mainly two types of protein are present
  Casein and Whey. While 80 of milk protein
  content is casein which is a digesting protein,
  Whey contributes 20 of milk protein. During
  digestion, casein forms a gel-like substance in
  the stomach which releases nutrients and makes it
  an excellent choice for sustained protein
  delivery. But in some children and adults, it can
  trigger allergic reactions due to which various
  digestive, and respiratory system-related issues
  and skin allergies occur, and this condition is
  known as casein protein allergy.
• Casein Protein Allergy - As Per Ayurveda
• Milk (Ksheera) is considered as Rasayana
  (rejuvenator), highly nourishing and Sattvic food
  as per Ayurveda, but due to weak digestive fire
  (Manda Agni), incompatible combination, etc. it
  may lead to an imbalance in Dosha mainly Kapha
  and Vata. As per Ayurveda, casein protein allergy
  when seen in children and infants due to immature
  digestive fire (Mandagni) results in difficulty
  in the digestion of milk and results in various
  symptoms like skin rashes, and various
  respiratory and digestive issues. This condition
  is related to Ksheeralsaka in children,
  especially the non-IgE mediated type of casein
  protein allergy. In Adults when toxin (Ama)
  formation occurs due to improper consumption of
  milk (e.g. milk with salty food or milk with
  fish, etc leads to allergic reactions such as
  skin inflammation, and respiratory and digestive
  issues but in adults this condition is rare.

9
Whey Protein Allergy

• Whey protein allergy is an adverse immune
  reaction to proteins found in whey, which is one
  of the two main components of milk, the other
  being casein. When someone with a whey protein
  allergy consumes products containing whey, their
  immune system mistakenly identifies the protein
  as a harmful substance and triggers an allergic
  reaction.

10
Difference between Milk Allergy and Lactose
intolerance

• Milk Allergy is due to hypersensitive reaction of
  immune system against protein present in milk.
• It can produce symptoms have rashes, hives,
  difficulty in breathing

• Lactose intolerance occurs when the body is
  unable to digest lactose present in the milk due
  to deficiency of enzyme lactase.
• This condition only produces gastrointestinal
  symptoms.
