Abstract
Reducing the frequency or duration of crying episodes in an infant by providing infant milk formula manufactured from milk which comprises beta-casein, wherein the beta-casein comprises less than 30% by weight of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence.
Claims20
A method for reducing the frequency or duration of crying episodes in an infant by providing infant milk formula to the infant for ingestion, wherein the milk used in the manufacture of the infant milk formula contains beta-casein comprising less than 30% by weight of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence.
A method for reducing the frequency or duration of crying episodes in an infant by feeding infant milk formula to the infant, wherein the milk used in the manufacture of the infant milk formula contains beta-casein comprising less than 30% by weight of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence.
A method for reducing the frequency or duration of crying episodes in an infant having a diet comprising infant milk formula where the infant milk formula contains beta-casein comprising at least 30% by weight of any one or more of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence, by replacing the infant milk formula with a replacement infant milk formula manufactured from milk containing beta-casein comprising less than 30% by weight of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence.
A method for reducing the frequency or duration of crying episodes in an infant having a diet comprising a first infant milk formula, wherein the first infant milk formula is replaced with a second infant milk formula in the diet of the infant;
- wherein the first infant milk formula contains beta-casein comprising at least 30% by weight of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence;
- and
- wherein the second infant milk formula is manufactured from milk containing beta-casein comprising less than 30% by weight of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence.
Infant milk formula for reducing the frequency or duration of crying episodes in an infant which infant milk formula is manufactured from milk containing beta-casein comprising less than 30% by weight of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence.
The use of bovine milk in the manufacture of infant milk formula for reducing the frequency or duration of crying episodes in an infant, wherein the milk contains beta-casein comprising less than 30% by weight of beta-caseins having histidine at position 67 of the beta-casein amino acid sequence.
