Milk formula for young children is usually made from cows' milk that has been treated to suit your child’s need. There are different brands and types of formula available in the market. Always check labels carefully to ensure that you are choosing the most suitable milk for your child.
Milk formula usually comes in 2 different forms which are powdered formula and ready-to-feed liquid formula. It can provide children with the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development.
When should I change from one feeding stage to the next? From what age can my child drink cow’s milk?
Changing to a different formula or food is possible – but not a necessity. Your child is provided with all important nutrients by HiPP JUNIOR Growing-up Milk Formula.
