Like mother, like child?
Did you know? Just because you suffer from allergies, it doesn’t necessarily mean your children will too. You might be hoping your child inherits your eye color or hair type, but what about your allergies?
If you have eczema, “hayfever”, or asthma, there are ways you might reduce the chances of your child suffering too. Atopic disease includes common conditions such as eczema, asthma, food allergies, and other allergies that have symptoms including a “runny” nose. If you have atopic disease, your child is more likely to have allergies compared with a child born to a mom who doesn’t have atopic disease. But the good news is that passing on your allergies might not be inevitable.
Scientists have discovered that your child may benefit if you take specific probiotic supplements during pregnancy and later provide them to your child. Research suggests that some probiotics may be effective in reducing the risks of your child developing atopic dermatitis, or eczema—the most common allergic condition during childhood. The probiotics used in these studies are safe for you and your child.
Be sure to talk with your healthcare provider for more information about the type and amount of probiotics that could benefit your child.
Minor sensitivities in children like itchiness, rashes, upset tummy and bloating are all early signs of allergies. The right proteins in your child’s diet can help minimise these bodily discomforts. NANKID OPTIPRO HA 3 uses Gentle Protein*, which are cow’s milk proteins broken through a unique NESTLÉ process so that they are 10X smaller. This makes the proteins easy to digest and less likely to trigger allergic reactions or minor sensitivities in children.
With NANKID OPTIPRO HA 3, you can let your child feel the world, free from discomfort.
NANKID OPTIPRO HA 3 contains Partially Hydrolysed Protein, 50mg of DHA & ARA** and 100 million BIFIDUS BL beneficial bacteria**
