Real-life data on the effectiveness of extensively hydrolyzed protein-based formula and amino acid-based formula in regaining weight and height in infants on a cow's milk protein elimination diet.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of extensively hydrolyzed protein-based formula (EHF) or amino acid-based formula (AAF) in reversing the weight and height deficit in infants on a cow's milk protein elimination diet.

Methods: Infants from a retrospective cohort who were fed EHF (n = 17) or AAF (n = 16) for at least 2 months on a cow's milk protein elimination diet were included. The weight and height values recorded in the infants' medical records were obtained.
