Enfamil Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula
Enfamil Nutramigen is a specially formulated hypoallergenic infant formula designed to provide complete nutrition for infants with cow’s milk protein allergy or other severe food allergies. It is trusted by pediatricians and recommended for babies with a confirmed allergy to cow’s milk protein or those who exhibit colic-like symptoms due to cow’s milk sensitivity. Nutramigen is crafted to be gentle on your baby’s delicate digestive system, providing the essential nutrients they need to thrive during their crucial early stages of development.
Varieties:
Enfamil Nutramigen comes in different varieties tailored to meet the unique needs of infants at various stages of growth and development, including:
- Enfamil Nutramigen with Enflora LGG: Contains added probiotics (LGG) to support gut health and strengthen your baby’s immune system.
- Enfamil Nutramigen with Lipil: Fortified with DHA and ARA, essential fatty acids that contribute to brain and eye development.

Enfamil Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula is available in various sizes to suit your baby’s needs, ranging from 12.6 oz cans for trial and travel purposes to 27.8 oz cans for regular home use.
Benefits:
- Hypoallergenic Nutrition: Nutramigen is extensively hydrolyzed, meaning the cow’s milk proteins are broken down into smaller, hypoallergenic fragments, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and providing a safe alternative for infants with milk protein allergies.
- Soothes Colic-Like Symptoms: The unique formulation of Nutramigen helps ease colic-like symptoms caused by cow’s milk sensitivity, offering relief to both babies and parents.
- Essential Nutrients: Enfamil Nutramigen is fortified with vital nutrients such as iron, calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting healthy growth and development in infants.
- Supports Gut Health: The Enfamil Nutramigen with Enflora LGG variety contains probiotics (LGG), which contribute to a balanced gut microbiome, supporting digestive health and a strong immune system.
Side Effects:
While Enfamil Nutramigen is a safe and effective formula for most infants with allergies, some potential side effects may include:
- Diarrhea: In rare cases, some babies may experience loose stools or increased bowel movements during the initial transition to Nutramigen. This usually improves with time.
- Gas and Fussiness: Some babies may have temporary gas or fussiness as their digestive system adjusts to the new formula.
- Allergic Reactions: Although Nutramigen is designed to minimize allergic reactions, in extremely rare cases, a baby may still have a reaction to the formula. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, hives, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
