The different types of baby milk - Magicmaman.com
Infant milks provide the essential nutritional elements for your baby's good growth. Before one year, cow's milk is not recommended, because it does not meet the nutritional needs of young children, and sometimes causes intolerances.
Infant milk (0 to 4 months): less protein than in cow's milk. Carbohydrates, vitamins (C and D), minerals (sodium, iron, etc.) and fatty acids are added. Second Age milk or "follow-on milk" (5 to 10 months): identical to the previous one, but the quantities are adjusted. It is essential to feed your child up to twelve months with second age milk, otherwise he risks suffering from certain deficiencies. Growing-up milk (10 months to 3 years): it compensates for the deficiencies of cow's milk, which is low in essential fatty acids and provides additional iron and vitamins.
Each type of milk has several subcategories:
- HA (hypoallergenic) milks for infants prone to allergies as well as in addition to breastfeeding.
- So-called "comfort" milks, for children suffering from reflux, because they have a thickener.
- Soy juices: only proteins of vegetable origin, therefore recommended for children allergic to cow's milk proteins.
- Organic milk labeled AB.
