When your baby has a cow or dairy allergy, your pediatrician will recommend you a hypoallergenic formula (after a blood test of course). Why? because the protein is broken into small pieces so the baby’s immune system can’t detect it; the range size of protein in the hypoallergenic formula is 3 KiloDalton whereas the normal protein size is from 14 to 67. Also, it’s lactose-free. But, you probably have been confused about which hypoallergenic formula to choose Alimentum, Nutramigen, or Gerber Extensive HA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will see a detailed comparison between Alimentum and Nutramigen to pick the right one for you. Stay with me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alimentum Vs Nutramigen: Which one is better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to choosing between Nutramigen and Alimentum it depends on what situation your baby has, if you want a cheap formula to help with your baby’s poop, constipation, colic, eczema, or want a palm oil-free formula, Alimentum (especially the ready-to-feed version) will be a good choice. Nutramigen will be the right choice for babies with acid reflux, eczema, or if you want a sucrose-free formula and you want your baby to return to milk protein as soon as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case your baby has been tested for cow or dairy allergy and you are confused about which one to start with, I will recommend starting with Alimentum ready-to-feed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Alimentum vs Nutramigen Ingredients and Price:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Protein:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both formulas use extensively hydrolyzed casein, which is broken into very small pieces (3 KiloDalton) to skip from the immune system so it won’t elicit any allergic response. The normal protein range size is from 14 to 67 KiloDalton and 1 KiloDalton for amino acid formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carbohydrate:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similac uses sugar table (sucrose) and corn maltodextrin as a carbohydrates source, whereas Nutramigen is sucrose-free and has corn syrup solids as a source of carbohydrates. That’s why Nutramigen is taste bad than Alimentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fat:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enfamil Nutramigen has palm oil among the fat sources which can be annoying to some parents because it reduces fat and calcium absorption, as a result, the baby’s poop could be hard and can cause constipation. But, it’s not always the case, most babies are on Nutramigen and have no health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n
