Partially hydrolysed formula (comfort formula) is not suitable for babies who have cows' milk allergy. Lactose-free formula After one, give your baby full-fat cow's milk. It's cheaper than growing-up milk and toddler milk, and it doesn't contain added sugar,' says Shefalee.All the leading formula brands have a range of milk that is marketed as ‘comfort’ or ‘easy to digest’. 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. Aptamil Lactose Free is a food for special medical purposes. It should only be used under medical supervision, after full consideration of the feeding options available including breastfeeding. Suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition for infants from birth and as part of a balanced diet from 6-12 months. Not suitable for parenteral use. This formula is not suitable for infants who have cows' milk allergy. 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. Your toddler should meet all their nutritional needs through the food they eat and a multivitamin drop that contains vitamins A, C and D as recommended by the government, not through expensive fortified milks.

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 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. 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). Goats' milk formulas are not suitable for infants with cows' milk allergy (also known as cows' milk protein allergy), as the proteins they contain are very similar. Hungrier baby formula (hungry milk) 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. The composition of all infant formula and follow-on formula in the UK is strictly controlled under The Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula (England) regulations. This means the core ingredients of all formulas are identical, so no one formula is better than the other.

Follow-on formula contains the same ingredients as infant formula, and its levels of nutrients are also strictly controlled under the same regulations.

Hungrier baby formula (hungry milk) is suitable from birth, but ask a midwife or health visitor for advice first. The cows' milk in formula contains 2 types of proteins – whey and casein. First infant formula is based on whey protein which is thought to be easier to digest than other types of formula. This type of formula contains cows' milk proteins that have already been partly broken down (partially hydrolysed). This is supposed to make it easier to digest and help prevent digestive problems such as colic and constipation. However, there's no evidence for this.There are some concerns about the fact that soya contains phytoestrogens. These are found naturally in some plants.
