Q

Breastmilk (7)

  1. Human breast milk is recommended exclusively for
    newborns and infants for first 6 months of life

Q

Three Forms of Formula (3)

Q

Probiotics (6)

A

  4. Many formulas today have added probiotics in the US
  5. No known risk to infants
  6. Apple cider vinegar contains pectin, which has a similar effect to help balance the bacteria
