Allergien
In the past many hospitals used to recommend Hypo Allergenic (HA) milk, as it seemed to be a convenient answer to concerns by parents over the allergies of their children. These days, however, most modern hospitals only recommend HA milk in very special cases because it simply does not achieve the desired results.
These chemically altered (dairy milk) products remain very controversial. These days HA milks are used neither as a prophylactic defense by parents of children with asthma, hay-fever, or a known allergy nor in the case of a premature birth. The only possible use of HA milks might be as a prophylactic defense against a skin disorder and, even in this case, a homeopathic practitioner would never prescribe a chemically altered product. Think of all those vaccinations which contain proteins! Babies develop HA milk allergies particularly after being vaccinated.
Many mothers who have been unable to develop a well-adjusted feeding plan using expensive HA milks for the first baby (no buns/croissants, no yogurts, no paps or biscuits containing milk proteins except for <strong>Bimbono</strong> from Bimbosan), turn to a traditional or soy baby milk for the second. This is because the children still developed allergies after the use of HA milk or because they encountered problems when converting to "solid" food.
You should breast-feed for as long as possible. Breast feeding provides the best defence against allergies. Special milks will not change the inherited characteristics of the child or the environment in which it lives. It is much more sensible to eat healthily and naturally and thereby to strengthen the immune system of the child rather than weakening it with chemicals. Of course, parents always want the best for their child but unfortunately past recommendations to use HA milks have been driven more by commercial considerations of big business rather than any real concern for the benefit of the children. The best way to avoid dairy milk proteins is to use a soy-milk like <strong>Bisoja</strong>, specially tailored for your child.
