Abstract
To assess the familiarity of pediatricians with commercially available formulas and their use for cow's milk protein allergy and colic, a list of formulas was generated by visiting several grocery stores. Pediatricians were ask to indicate their familiarity with these and other "specialized" formulas with regard to protein and carbohydrate sources, energy content, hypoallergenicity, and indication for infant colic. The participants answered an average of 46% of the questions correctly. Respondents were very familiar with 27% of the formulas, and unfamiliar with 35%. The highest score was 70%, and 10% of the responders correctly answered 65% or more of the questions. Fifty-one percent correctly identified the protein source of the formulas; 32% correctly identified the carbohydrate source. The energy content of the formulas was correctly identified by 54%. These data suggest that pediatricians have a poor understanding of the content and appropriate use of neonatal and infant formulas.
