Frequently Asked Questions
What is Similac Alimentum used for?
Alimentum is a hypoallergenic infant formula designed for babies with cow's milk protein allergy, protein sensitivity, or colic related to protein sensitivity. It is also used for infants with other food allergies who need an extensively hydrolyzed casein-based formula.
How quickly does Alimentum reduce colic symptoms?
Clinical studies show that Alimentum starts reducing colic symptoms due to protein sensitivity within 24 hours in most infants. A crossover study of infants with cow's milk protein sensitivity showed 5 of 6 infants started on Alimentum achieved a reduction in excessive crying during the first week.
What is 2'-FL HMO and why does it matter?
2'-FL HMO (2'-Fucosyllactose Human Milk Oligosaccharide) is a prebiotic naturally found in most mothers' breast milk. It helps nourish and support the developing immune system. Alimentum is the first and only hypoallergenic infant formula to include this ingredient - neither Enfamil Nutramigen nor store-brand hypoallergenic formulas contain it.
What is the difference between ready-to-feed and powder Alimentum?
Both formulations provide the same hypoallergenic nutrition. Ready-to-feed requires no mixing - just pour into a bottle and serve, making it ideal for overnight feedings and travel. Powder formula needs to be mixed with water per the label directions but is more economical and lighter to store. Some pediatricians recommend ready-to-feed for newborns and preemies.
Does Alimentum contain lactose or soy?
Alimentum is lactose-free. It uses corn maltodextrin and sugar (sucrose) as carbohydrate sources. It does not contain intact soy protein, though it may contain trace soy-derived ingredients. If your baby has a diagnosed soy allergy, consult your pediatrician before use.
Can I switch to Alimentum without a doctor's recommendation?
While Alimentum is available without a prescription, it is best to consult your baby's pediatrician before switching formulas - especially if you suspect a cow's milk protein allergy or your baby has persistent colic. A doctor can help confirm the diagnosis and determine whether a hypoallergenic formula is the right choice.
