Baby&Me Organic is an organic formula that can be used as a complementary milk or a substitute for breast milk when needed. Baby&Me Organic is intended for babies aged 0-12 months.
Formula milk is made from cow's milk that has been processed to meet the nutritional needs of babies. Formula-producing cows are sometimes given injections of growth hormone and antibiotics to encourage milk production. In addition, the grass eaten by cows is also given pesticide spray to free from pests.
This condition is different from organic formula milk produced by cows which have been confirmed to have not received antibiotics and artificial growth hormones. Organic milk-producing cows also eat pesticide-free grass.
According to one study, organic formula milk has a higher nutritional value than regular formula. But keep in mind, breast milk is still the best choice and the main nutritional intake for babies. Therefore, it is recommended to give breast milk until the child is 2 years old, or at least until he is 6 months old.
