If there is no definite benefit after two weeks, the dietary restrictions should be lifted.

31
Q

what babies should not get soy formula? (2) why?

A

congenital hypothyroidism
preterm babies

soy formula contains phytoestrogens and may inhibit thyroid peroxidase and lower free thyroxin levels

32
Q

A

extensively hydrolyzed formula

Contraindicated in non-IgE mediated CMPA since there is a high rate of overlap with soy allergy

33
Q

the most effective measures to reduce iron deficiency, including: (4)

A

Delayed cord clamping
If formula feeding, providing iron-fortified formula
Feeding iron-rich complementary foods from age 6 months
Not using cow’s milk as the main milk source until infants are a year old, and limiting cow’s milk intake to 500 mL/day thereafter.

34
Q

for low birth weight infants what is the recommendation for iron supplementation
