So... Danone (the company that own Aptamil and Cow & Gate) have changed the formulation of the Aptamil first infant milk... and it has caused all kinds of drama. Health visitors up and down the country have been fielding enquiries from parents about the new formula, with very little publicly available information from the company themselves.
Jen and Amy get down into the detail using the latest updates from First Steps Nutrition Trust to talk about what has changed in the formula and why this matters. From useful tips parents need to know, to making up feeds and the balance of different proteins in the milk; we're going to cover it.
We hope this answers your questions and gives you an overview based on advice you can trust. If you want to check out any of the things we have talked about you can look up the First Steps Nutrition resources below, which we have based the episode on:
