Hello!

I am only sharing my personal story:
I had a very SGA baby (1380g at 37+3 weeks) so she needed a 
low-birthweight-babies nutrition program. I pumped her milk and she would 
have been given ´partly special premie formula. But I stated my worry about 
risk of cow-milk allergy as my family has a strong allergy history. So it 
was agreed that she got hypo-allergenic formula instead(similar as Al****n 
P***i in these days) with extra amount of powder wich was calculated for her 
needs. My daughter did later develop a cow milk allergy and severe other 
food allergies so it did not work for us, but I am sure, it helped to 
postpone the symptoms a couple of months.

We have just had a couple of premies at work who developed problems with 
stomach and they were transferred to more hydrolyzated formula P***i J****r 
instead of regular premie formula and pumped milk with BMF which did help to 
stop bloody stools and other problems. Cow milk free diet was recommeded to 
the mothers.
