Infant formula milk
Those younger than 12 months old should not drink regular cow's milk, skim milk, condensed milk, milk powder or condensed milk. If your baby is not breastfed, you should only offer your baby formula specially formulated for babies. Although the basic ingredient of these products is still cow's milk, but with added many essential ingredients.

Some infant formulas are for children under 1 year old
The types of infant formula are usually divided according to the stage of development:
- Milk for the first stage, suitable for babies from birth: This group of dairy products is only for babies up to 12 months old. Typically, products are made from cow's milk, but can also be made from soy or goat milk. Unless there is some force majeure that you can't take it, cow's milk formula is still an optimal choice.
- Milk for children from 6 to 12 months.
- Milk fortified with essence: often used for babies who often vomit after eating. This type of milk is only used under the guidance of experts.
- Formula for preterm infants: This formula is not suitable for term babies or premature babies but has caught up with the growth rate of full term babies unless directed by a specialist. .
