SMA Althera Infant Milk 400g

SMA Althera infant formula for Cow's Milk Protein Allergy

You need a specialised infant formula when your baby has been diagnosed with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). SMA Althera infant formula is a nutritionally complete feed designed specifically for infants from birth who cannot tolerate standard cow's milk-based formulas. This extensively hydrolysed formula contains proteins that have been broken down into smaller fragments to reduce allergic reactions.

Your baby receives all essential nutrients required for healthy growth and development through this carefully formulated milk. The formula includes prebiotics to support digestive health and has been developed to meet the nutritional needs of infants with CMPA under medical supervision.

How Extensively Hydrolysed Protein Works

The proteins in this Althera formula have undergone extensive hydrolysis, breaking them down into smaller peptides and amino acids. This process significantly reduces the likelihood of your baby's immune system recognising and reacting to the proteins that typically cause allergic responses in standard cow's milk formulas.

Your baby's digestive system can more easily process these pre-digested proteins, reducing symptoms associated with CMPA such as colic, reflux, skin reactions, and digestive discomfort. The formula maintains nutritional completeness whilst providing the hypoallergenic properties your baby requires.

Suitable for Infants with Diagnosed CMPA

This specialised infant milk is appropriate for babies who have been medically diagnosed with cow's milk protein allergy. You should only use this formula under the guidance of your healthcare professional, who will assess your baby's specific needs and monitor their progress.

The formula is suitable for:

• Infants from birth with confirmed CMPA diagnosis
• Babies experiencing allergic reactions to standard formulas
• Infants requiring nutritionally complete hypoallergenic feeding
• Babies under ongoing medical supervision for milk protein intolerance

You can find additional support for your baby's health needs in our comprehensive baby and toddler collection, which includes other specialised infant care products.

Nutritionally Complete Hypoallergenic Formula

Your baby receives balanced nutrition through this carefully formulated milk, which meets all nutritional requirements for healthy infant development. The formula contains appropriate levels of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids necessary for your baby's growth during their first months of life.

The hypoallergenic properties do not compromise nutritional value, ensuring your baby continues to receive optimal nourishment whilst avoiding problematic proteins. This allows you to feed your baby confidently, knowing their dietary needs are fully met despite their milk protein sensitivity.

Medical Supervision and Storage Requirements

You must use this specialised formula only under medical supervision, as healthcare professionals need to monitor your baby's response and nutritional status. Regular check-ups ensure the formula continues to meet your baby's changing needs as they grow and develop.

Store the unopened tin in a cool, dry place and use the contents within four weeks of opening. Once prepared, you should use feeds immediately or store them in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours. Always follow the preparation instructions carefully to maintain the formula's nutritional integrity and safety.
