Which infant formula is best? 👇👇

❗New Infographic: How do infant formulas compare?

➡️ Did you know? If you are giving your baby infant formula, First Infant Formula is the only formula they will need in the first year of life. It doesn’t matter which brand you use as they are all very similar.

➡️ However, formula companies will lead parents/carers to believe that their high priced products are superior to other, lower cost, alternatives. Formula companies use ingredient claims which suggest certain products are better when in fact, they make no difference to the health and nutrition outcomes or product safety.

➡️ Our new infographics highlight how similar all infant formula in the UK are, and the minimal differences between ‘premium’ branded formula products and supermarket own-brand alternatives.
