Formulated Milk (sufor) is usually carried out under certain circumstances according to the medical condition experienced by your little one.

Some conditions inevitably require the baby to get formulated milk to meet the nutritional needs of the baby.

You don't need to worry, formula milk powder for babies is sterile since the production period.

This aims to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination if the preparation and administration process is not clean.

There are many types of formulated milk for babies from various sources, shapes, and also various brands. Launching from the Kids Health page, several types of formula milk for babies include:

1.  Cow's milk

Most of the formulated milk comes from cow's milk. Usually this type of milk contains the right balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat.

The protein in milk has undergone changes making it easier to digest.

There are several ingredients in formulated milk that are made similar to breast milk, namely essential fatty acids such as ARA and DHA as well as prebiotics and probiotics.

2. Soy milk

This type of formulated milk is made from soy milk for babies. Usually, babies need this type of milk if they are lactose intolerant.

This can be due to gastrointestinal infections, cow's milk allergy related to galactosemia, and congenital lactase deficiency.

Soy milk does not contain whey and casein protein as in cow's milk.

In fact, soy milk can also be given if the baby is constipated because of formula milk.

Interestingly, soy milk for babies has a low saturated fat content. Fat is ideally needed in the process of developing a baby, but in the right dosage and type.

The fat content in soy milk includes monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. This is because soy milk comes from plants, not from animal sources such as cow's milk.

The reason for the high level of fiber in soy milk for babies is because it comes from plants or vegetables.

3. Lactose-free milk

This infant formula does not contain lactose (sugar contained in milk). Usually, it is replaced with another type of sugar, such as corn syrup.

4. Hypoallergenic Milk

This milk contains protein that has been broken down into smaller forms so that it is easier to digest for babies.

Generally, babies who need this type of milk are babies who have an allergy to milk protein or who have problems with absorption of nutrients (usually premature babies).
