Why Choose Infant Formula Over Cow’s Milk? 🍼

At Nuga Pediatrics, we understand that feeding your baby is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. While cow’s milk may seem like an easy alternative, it’s not recommended for infants under 12 months. Here’s why:

✅ Essential Nutrients – Infant formula is specially designed to provide the right balance of vitamins, minerals, and proteins that babies need for healthy growth and development.

🚫 Digestive Health – Babies under one year can have trouble digesting cow’s milk, which can lead to intestinal irritation and increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia.

🛡 Immune Support – Formula contains added iron and essential nutrients to support a baby’s developing immune system, unlike cow’s milk, which lacks these crucial elements.

For more details on why formula is the best choice for your little one before they transition to whole milk, check out this helpful resource from HealthyChildren.org:

📢 Important Resource for Families:
Feeding your children when benefits like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are delayed or reduced can be stressful, and you’re not alone. The AAP’s HealthyChildren.org has published a helpful article with guidance, tips, and support.

Here are some key takeaways:
✅ Check your EBT card balance to make sure you know what’s still available.
✅ Reach out to local food banks, churches, or community emergency programs. Many are stepping up to help.
✅ For families with young children, avoid watering down formula or using homemade recipes, as they can be unsafe.
✅ Your child’s pediatrician is a trusted resource and can help connect you with food access programs.

At Nuga Pediatrics, we understand how important nutrition is for your child’s growth and health. If you’re facing challenges or unsure where to start, please feel free to reach out. We’re here for you.

Stay strong, stay connected, and let’s make sure every child gets the nourishment they deserve. 💙
