Clin Pediatr (Phila). 2015;54(3) 264–72. Mothers should be encouraged to continue breastfeeding, but in case this is not an option, specialty formulas are available for infants and young children with CMPA to reduce or completely remove the allergenic potential. These formulas contain the adequate nutrients to support healthy infant growth and development. There are two different types of formulas for the management of CMPA:

J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2012;55(2):221-229. Extensively hydrolyzed formulas,* or “eHFs,” in which CMPs have been extensively hydrolyzed into peptides. As a result, they are less allergenic than whole milk formulas and are very well tolerated by most children with cow’s milk or soy protein allergies.
