Accepted Answer

Formula milk and cow milk have differences in composition. Formula milk is designed to mimic breast milk, providing a balanced mix of nutrients. It's advantageous when breastfeeding isn't possible. Cow milk, on the other hand, is a natural source of nutrients but may lack certain elements crucial for infants. The superiority depends on individual circumstances; formula milk can be a reliable alternative, ensuring proper nutrition, while cow milk may need supplementation for infants. so if you want to continue than use Aptamil Gold stage 3 formula milk.

Hey, I too had started with formula for my baby as I had to join back my office,I have given all the 3 stages of Aptamil Gold to him. Since your baby is in his 14th month, it is good time to start with stage 3. My friend suggested some other brand for the transition but I continued with Aptamil Gold as  it has prebiotics HMO's. They are good bacteria in the gut, which helps the overall development of the baby. It improves digestion, immunity and helps in  brain development of the baby.
