A. I have heard a lot about Aptamil Gold formula milk. it's helps for gaining weight it is available in different stage for different age like stage 1 for 0-6 month, stage 2 for 6-12 months and stage 3 for 12-18 months. It doesn't cause gas or colic issues due to the Prebiotics and HMOs in it. You can start giving it with dr advice..
