This publication examines the impact of using an amino acid formula containing pre- and probiotics (synbiotics) in infants with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). The retrospective matched cohort study analyzed data from The Health Improvement Network database, comparing 148 infants prescribed either AAF-Syn (containing probiotic Bifidobacterium breve M16-V and prebiotics) or AAF without synbiotics.
The study found that AAF-Syn was associated with significant reductions in symptoms, infections, medication prescriptions, and healthcare contacts compared to AAF. Infants prescribed AAF-Syn had a higher probability of achieving asymptomatic management without hypoallergenic formula and a shorter clinical course of symptoms. AAF-Syn was also associated with potential cost-savings per infant over the clinical course of symptoms.
The study provides evidence consistent with clinical trials, suggesting that AAF-Syn may offer clinical and healthcare benefits with potential economic impact, possibly due to its effect on the gut microbiome. Further research is needed to explore this relationship.

Important Notice
Breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for infants and provides many benefits to babies and mothers. In preparation for and during breastfeeding, it is important to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Combined breast and bottle-feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of breast milk, and reversing the decision not to breastfeed is difficult. The social and financial implications of not breastfeeding should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions must be carefully followed, as improper preparation could pose in health risks to the baby. Always consult a healthcare professional for advice on infant feeding and use the products under medical supervision after considering all feeding options.
