FAQ
Is this the same as regular toddler milk?
No. It is a specialized medical formula for toddlers with diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy or multiple food intolerances, not a standard growth formula.
How is it different from infant formula?
It is specifically formulated for the nutritional needs and higher calorie requirements of toddlers (ages 1-3), with a different protein and fat profile than infant formulas.
Can I use it in cooking or baking?
While it can be mixed into some foods, it is designed as a primary nutritional drink. Using it in cooking may alter its intended nutritional balance and should be done under dietetic guidance.
