SMA Soya Infant Baby Milk Formula, From Birth, 800g (Pack Of 1)

Product Information

Ensuring babies grow up with healthy teeth and gums is, of course, vitally important. All infant formulas must comply with standards which specify minimum and maximum amounts of carbohydrate (energy). Most formulas use lactose – the sugar in cow’s milk – as the source of this carbohydrate. In dairy-free formulas, maltodextrin is the carbohydrate of choice. Nutritional information from product datacards: Puramino®, Neocate LCP® and Neocate Syneo®. June 2018. Do not add extra powder or water to make feed stronger or weaker and do not press powder into scoop. Using too much or too little powder can make your baby ill.

Formula milk, also known as baby formula or infant formula, is usually made from cows' milk that has been treated to make it more suitable for babies. SMA Wysoy is also suitable for babies with galactokinase deficiency, galactosaemia and for sucrose intolerance. If you think that your baby might be cow's milk intolerant, then it is important that you consult your GP.

Maltodextrin is derived from starch – usually from corn or wheat – and is a complex carbohydrate that is easily digested and provides energy. It is much less likely to cause tooth decay than glucose syrup, which used to be used in dairy-free formulas. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Breast milk is best for babies and breastfeeding should continue for as long as possible. Infant formulae are suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed and should only be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist, or other professionals responsible for maternal and child care. 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.

There are a number of these formulas suitable for babies from birth but their availability varies. The only soya-based formula that’s widely available in the UK is SMA Wysoy but it’s not vegan because it contains vitamin D3 sourced from lanolin (sheep’s wool).

The Babies should NEVER be given off-the-shelf cow’s milk or plant milks – they have specific nutritional requirements that can only be met by an infant formula. Formula milk provides babies with the nutrients they need to grow and develop. However, it does not have the same health benefits as breastfeeding for you and your baby. For example, it cannot protect your baby from infections. First infant formula (first milk) Of course, soya is not a natural food for babies but then again nor is cow’s milk. Cow’s milk is meant for fast-growing calves, not humans, and is loaded with oestrogens – and not the mild ones derived from plants but potent oestrogens from another mammal. Cow’s milk is also implicated in a whole range of health problems in children such as digestive upsets, ear infections and skin conditions, it can interfere with iron absorption and contains virtually no iron of its own.
