Product Information

Formula milk provides babies with the nutrients they need to grow and develop. However, it does not have the same health benefits as breastfeeding for you and your baby. For example, it cannot protect your baby from infections. First infant formula (first milk) Lactose-free formula is available in pharmacies and shops, but if you think your baby may be lactose intolerant, it's important to speak to a midwife, health visitor or GP. Hypoallergenic formula It's important to take extra care when making up and storing these products as powdered formula is not sterile and making it up at lower temperatures will not kill any harmful bacteria it may contain. Formula milk, also known as baby formula or infant formula, is usually made from cows' milk that has been treated to make it more suitable for babies. Only use soya formula if it has been recommended or prescribed by a health visitor or GP. Growing-up milk (toddler milk)

When your baby is 1 year old, they can start to drink whole cows' milk or sheep's or goats' milk (as long as these milks are pasteurised). If your baby is diagnosed as being allergic to cows' milk, a GP will prescribe an appropriate hypoallergenic infant formula with fully hydrolysed (broken down) proteins. wind has been fantsteic but still taking nearly an hour at a time to settle (apart from this time she was too exhausted after not sleeping last time) He was weaned from the first milk onto the hungry baby milk and it took nearly a week to do it.

There's no evidence to suggest that these products provide extra nutritional benefits for young children. after her first hungry baby feed (about 3 oz but still had to pinch bottle off her when not looking hehe) she slept for 6 and a half hours!!!!! till 4 this mornin then had another 3 oz and slept for 4 hours till 8 then had another 3 oz and slept for 3 and a half hours till 11:30 (but door disturbed her!) had another 3 oz and hasnt gone to sleep till just now after another 2 oz!!!

Unless a midwife, health visitor or GP suggests otherwise, first infant formula is the only formula your baby needs. Your baby can stay on it when you start to introduce your baby's first solid foods at around 6 months and they can drink it throughout their first year. goats' or sheep's milk (but it's fine to use them when cooking for your baby, as long as they are pasteurised) This formula is suitable for babies who are lactose intolerant. This means they cannot absorb lactose, which is a sugar that's naturally in milk and dairy products. The instructions for making up anti-reflux formulas may be different to standard formula. The usual guidelines for how to make up baby formula recommend using boiled water that has stood for no more than 30 minutes, so that the temperature is still above 70C. The chemical structure of phytoestrogens is similar to the female hormone oestrogen. 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.Babies' low body weight means they take in much higher amounts of phytoestrogens than older children or adults who eat soya products as part of a varied and balanced diet. Soya formula is made from soya beans, not cows' milk. It's occasionally used as an alternative to cows' milk formula for babies who have cows' milk allergy. Although it's available in pharmacies and supermarkets, it's recommended you only use it on the advice of a health professional.
