Product Information

Do you think this is an allergic reaction to something in the porridge, and if so what? And is this likely to cause problems with other foods? Also is she likely to grow out of it and has anyone else experienced this? Not all milk is suitable for feeding babies. You should never give the following types of milk to a baby under 1 year: Piccolo Organic came top, with a surprising 100% of parents saying their baby was happy to eat it, while HiPP Organic and Tesco own brand weren't far behind, with 99% of parents saying the food made their babies happy.

Babies' low body weight means they take in much higher amounts of phytoestrogens than older children or adults who eat soya products as part of a varied and balanced diet. To discover which food babies like the best, we also asked parents how happy, if at all, their baby was when eating it.

There's no evidence that switching to a different formula does any good or harm. However, if you think a particular brand of formula disagrees with your baby, talk to a midwife or health visitor. They can help you decide whether to try a different type.

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. The instructions for making up anti-reflux formulas may be different to standard formula. The usual guidelines for how to make up baby formula recommend using boiled water that has stood for no more than 30 minutes, so that the temperature is still above 70C. Partially hydrolysed formula (comfort formula) is not suitable for babies who have cows' milk allergy. Lactose-free formula This type of formula contains cows' milk proteins that have already been partly broken down (partially hydrolysed). This is supposed to make it easier to digest and help prevent digestive problems such as colic and constipation. However, there's no evidence for this. Although it's often described as suitable for "hungrier babies", there's no evidence that babies settle better or sleep longer when fed this type of formula. Anti-reflux (staydown) formulaLactose-free formula is available in pharmacies and shops, but if you think your baby may be lactose intolerant, it's important to speak to a midwife, health visitor or GP.
