What is Gerber Extensive Ha?
Gerber Extensive Ha is a brand-name, over-the-counter hypoallergenic baby formula for nursing children in their first year who are allergic to cow's milk proteins. Gerber Extensive Ha uses extensively hydrolyzed proteins (proteins that are near fully digested), which are less likely to provoke an allergic response from the infant.
Gerber Extensive Ha is advised and sometimes prescribed for infants whose digestive discomfort is due to cow's milk allergy. Around 2-5% of formula-fed infants are hypersensitive to cow milk proteins. Infants with more severe cow milk protein allergy may require formulas with fully hydrolyzed protein, such as Gerber Extensive Ha or, in the worst cases, amino acid formulas, such as Similac Alimentum, in which the proteins have been broken up completely into their basic chemical building blocks.
If you suspect your child is having digestive problems with formula, consult your pediatrician, who will perform both lactose intolerance and cow's milk allergy tests on your child. Your pediatrician will be able to suggest or even prescribe the formula that best fits your child's needs.
What are the side effects of Gerber Extensive Ha?
There are no side effects of Gerber Extensive Ha substantially different from those of other baby formulas or breast milk, such as decreased feeding or occasional stomach upset.
Infants that are formula-fed, no matter what the formula, have a higher statistical incidence of infections, weight gain, and high insulin levels than breast-fed babies.
