Of course, soya is not a natural food for babies but then again nor is cow’s milk. Cow’s milk is meant for fast-growing calves, not humans, and is loaded with oestrogens – and not the mild ones derived from plants but potent oestrogens from another mammal. Cow’s milk is also implicated in a whole range of health problems in children such as digestive upsets, ear infections and skin conditions, it can interfere with iron absorption and contains virtually no iron of its own. 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. 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. While sugars and sweet foods and drinks may increase the risk of tooth decay in people of all ages, we cannot avoid them at all times. Natural sugars are a part of many healthy foods, such as fruits, that are also among the first foods your baby will eat. That’s why it’s crucial to maintain good dental hygiene from an early age. Clean teeth are less prone to tooth decay – simple.Approx. Age of Baby: 2 - 4 weeks; Approx.
