What is in baby formula?

We know selecting a baby formula can be confusing. There is so much information available and when you are losing sleep, or your baby needs you, it can be difficult to find time to research and decide upon the best option for you and your little ones.

Here at LittleOak ,we want to make the process as stress-free as possible.

Formula is commonly made from either cow or goat’s milk with added vitamins and minerals. Standard formulas also include a protein source such as a whey or casein blend, a fat source such as vegetable oil, and a carbohydrate source, typically lactose.

HEALTHY OILS

Instead of palm oil, we use cold-pressed flaxseed and coconut oils with sunflower oil.

LESS LACTOSE

LittleOak has lower levels of lactose than cow’s milk.

NATURALLY A2

Goat’s milk naturally contains the A2 protein, which is gentler on tummies.

How do LittleOak ingredients help?

My child suffers from

TEST

Lactose intolerance

Goat s milk has lower levels of lactose than cow s milk. Lactose is the sugar found in milk which is digested by the enzyme lactase. Many children naturally do not have lactase or are deficient which means they may struggle to digest lactose, leading to trapped wind, bloating and constipation or diarrhea.
