Because of this, there are concerns that they could affect a baby's reproductive development, especially in babies who drink only soya-based infant formula. Lactose-free formula: This is suitable for little ones with a lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance, although rare in babies, can cause diarrhoea, wind, bloating, and abdominal pain. Toddler milk is advertised as containing much more iron than cow’s milk, but this is misleading. Cow’s milk contains very little iron and is not where you or your baby gets iron from in their diet. Iron is found in red meat, eggs, lentils and pulses, and green leafy veg. For the first six months, all a baby needs is milk and the NHS recommends breast milk for those first six months. However, this is not always possible for a number of reasons, and some parents choose to formula feed their little ones instead, from birth to 12 months. Of course, a lot of parents also combination feed, helping alleviate some of the pressures of breastfeeding.The majority of products advise on three scoops per feed. However, HiPP Organic and Aldi advise on two scoops. This will be the result of a more concentrated powder. No. The effectiveness of comfort milks over infant milks in reducing the symptoms of colic is not established. Instead of switching formula, small changes to the timing and quantity of feeds can help to manage colic.
