This solved the digestive problems of infants, such as colic and constipation. This partially hydrolysed formula is not recommended for babies who have cow milk allergies.

 

Lactose-free formula

Soya formula 

Soya formula is not made from cow’s milk. It is made of soya beans and is suitable for six months. Soya contains phytoestrogens, which are similar to the female hormone oestrogen. For this reason, it could affect a baby's reproductive development. So, you should only use soya formula milk when it is prescribed by a professional health advisor.
