In this Healthed lecture, paediatric gastroenterologist, Dr Rupert Hinds provides a practical guide to infant formula selection, without the marketing spin. He also addresses a number of other very practical issues related to formula-feeding in children. These include an outline of the differences between available brands, the validity of claims that a particular formula is better for immunity or colic, when it might be appropriate to change formula and when should cow's milk allergy be suspected. Importantly, he also sorts fact from fiction when it comes to claims such as the value of different additives to infant formula, the misconception that lactose intolerance exists in babies and the value of formula in children over 12 months.
