Question

Accepted Answer

When choosing a milk powder for children, consider the following factors to ensure you select the best option:

1. **Age Appropriateness**: Choose a formula designed for your child’s age group. For example, there are specific formulas for infants, toddlers, and older children.

2. **Nutritional Content**: Look for a formula that provides essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, iron, and DHA (for brain development).

3. **Brand Reputation**: Opt for reputable brands known for quality and safety. Some well-known brands include:
   - **Similac**
   - **Enfamil**
   - **Nestlé NAN**
   - **Horlicks** (for older children)

4. **Allergies and Sensitivities**: If your child has allergies or intolerances (like lactose intolerance), choose a formula that caters to those needs, such as lactose-free or hypoallergenic options.

5. **Consult with a Pediatrician**: Always consult with your child’s pediatrician before starting or changing any milk powder to ensure it meets their specific health needs.

For toddlers and older children, you might also consider nutritional supplements or fortified milks that support growth and development.
