Do you also find the ingredients list on infant formulas extremely long? There is a good reason for this!
It may be tempting to look for an infant formula with a short list of ingredients on the label based on the idea that 'the less ingredients', the purer and therefore healthier' the product is. This may be a good diet choice for adults, but when it comes to your baby's nutritional needs, less is not more. A formula just has a long list of important ingredients that are necessary for the healthy growth and development of a baby. The composition of infant formula is strictly regulated. You should interpret this as a necessary foundation for your little one. Formulas contain ingredients that sound complicated and are sometimes hard to pronounce, but rest assured, these ingredients are in there for a good reason!
