NAN H.W. for Baby with Milk Allergy

Some parents may have noticed that after feeding their child with a regular cow’s milk infant formula, rashes would immediately appear on their baby’s skin soon after the feeding. 

We noted this ourselves with our own child, which prompted us to consult the service of her pediatrician. We were told that she's allergic to regular cow’s milk, and it would be very uncomfortable on her part to continue feeding her with this, especially because of the humidity in our area which leads to her developing itchy skin rashes.

As per the doctor’s advice, we decided to shift her to an infant formula of hydrolyzed whey protein --- NAN H.W. One. The day after we started her with NAN, all her rashes disappeared.

allergies cause so much discomfort, and NAN addresses that.

Hi, i'm feeding my child with nan h.w after she developed rashes from enfalac... my concern is, how's the nutrients compared to s-26... specially on brain development... thanks... :)

There are claims that more DHA content promotes advanced brain development. NAN may be slightly behind in terms of that but these claims have yet to be proven. To be sure, you can ask your Pedia to shift her to Enfa or S-26 once she's 6 months old and above and able to tolerate the rashes.

I believe ha and hw are one and the same. The one available in the Phils is hw.

LuiShe said...

Hi, I think Ha and Hw are the same.

Although both are likely the same, be sure to consult with your Pediatrician first.
