SMA Comfort Easy To Digest Baby Milk Powder Formula, From Birth, 800g (Pack of 1)

Product Information

SMA ® LF Lactose Free Infant Milk – Specifically designed for babies with lactose intolerance. Suitable from birth to 18 months. Not suitable for infants with galactosaemia. However, when formula is prepared correctly, it can provide the right balance of nutrients your baby needs. Some parents also decide to combine feed which provides a lot more options: the baby still gets all the breastfeeding nutrients and mum can take a rest while someone else feeds the baby. The pressure to breastfeed is enormous and each mum deserves the guilt-free choice on how to feed her baby. At the end of the day, it’s a personal choice, and the important thing is that the baby is fed and healthy, and both mother and baby are happy. Anti-reflux formula: This is also recommended from birth and, as with all formulas, it’s important to only use this type on the advice of a health professional. SMA ® Soya milk-free formula is intended to meet the nutritional needs of babies and children who are intolerant to cows’ milk protein, lactose or sucrose. Soya infant formulae are not recommended for preterm babies, those with kidney problems, or those with suspected or confirmed soya allergy, where medical guidance should always be sought. 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.

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. We test every product that we recommend to provide the most honest and reliable information about it. While all baby formula has to include identical nutrients to comply with government regulations, we consider a range of options to suit different needs such as soya-based, powder form, and ready-made liquid options. You’ll also find anti-reflux and goat’s milk alternatives. First infant milk: This is suitable from birth and contains two types of proteins: whey and casein.Partially hydrolysed formula (comfort formula) is not suitable for babies who have cows' milk allergy.

SMA ® Anti-Reflux is a special formula intended for the dietary management of bottle-fed babies when significant reflux (regurgitation) is a problem. It is suitable as the sole source of nutrition up to six months of age, and in conjunction with solid food up to 12 months of age. If the baby’s reflux does not improve within two weeks of starting SMA ® Anti-Reflux, or if the baby fails to thrive, the family doctor should be consulted. 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. Breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of a baby’s life. However, this isn’t always possible for everyone and so many parents choose a formula for their baby. Before giving a formula to your baby for the first time, or when switching to a different formula, it’s best to get the advice of a midwife or GP to help feed your baby and to keep them as safe and healthy as possible. This advice goes for all formulas in our roundup below. 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). The good thing about choosing a baby formula is that it is one of the most strictly regulated products on the market. If a substance is proven to be of benefit to a baby’s health, it is a legal requirement to be added to all formulas. So whether you’re thinking about buying a more expensive brand or a lower-priced baby formula, you can have peace of mind in knowing that each one will contain the optimum nutrients available for your baby, and that these ingredients are regulated by the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations 2007. What are the types of baby formula available?
