Formulated with lower-protein levels

BREAST MILK
Breast milk naturally contains lower levels of protein ( 1.0-1.1g / 100mL ) 2 which may be a contributing factor in reducing later life

* Weber 2014 . Prevalence of obesity in the intervention groups at 6 years of age and the estimated adjusted odds ratio between the higher-protein and lower-protein intervention formula groups vs the control breastfed group . Adjusted odds ratio estimated from binary logistic generalised linear regression adjusted for baseline BMI z score , sex , parental BMI , smoking in pregnancy and parental highest educational level . The formulas differed in the content of cow-milk protein ( 2.05 vs with 1.25 g / dL in infant formula and 3.2 vs with 1.6 g / dL in the follow-on formula , respectively ) but had identical energy contents achieved by adjustment of total fat content . All other compositional aspects of the two types of formula were similar . 1

IMPORTANT STATEMENT : Breastfeeding is best for babies . It has benefits for the infant , such as reducing infection risk , and for the mother . It is important to have a healthy balanced diet in preparation for , and during breastfeeding . Infant formula is designed to replace breast milk when an infant is not breastfed . Breastfeeding can be negatively affected by introducing partial bottle-feeding and reversing a decision not to breastfeed is difficult . Infant formula must be prepared and used as directed . Unnecessary or improper use of infant formula , such as not properly boiling water or sterilising feeding equipment , may make your baby ill . Social and financial implications , including preparation time and the cost of formula , should be considered when selecting a method of infant feeding .
