Hi Dra. another question is, I noticed most pedias are recommending to tranistion to fresh milk (from formula) na sa mga toddlers. isn't it too early for that?

Hi Hazel! Usually better po ang formula milk than fresh milk as milk-based formulas usually have incorporated more nutrients needed by your baby. Parents should use only iron-fortified formula unless advised otherwise by the primary health care provider. Infant formula manufacturers have begun to examine din po kasi the benefits of adding a variety of nutrients and biological factors to infant formula to mimic the composition and quality of breast milk. These include long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, nucleotides, prebiotics, and probiotics. But of course, depending po on your pedia baka po may certain considerations po sya kaya po nirerecommend nya ang fresh milk. So better ask din po your pedia for individualized care.
