Potential digestive issues:_

Lactose intolerance: Some infants may not tolerate lactose, a sugar found in milk.

Protein sensitivity: Some babies may react to the proteins in milk, such as casein or whey.

Gas and bloating: Powdered milk can be harder to digest, leading to gas and bloating.

Comparing Lactogen 1 and other options:

Lactogen 1: A popular choice, Lactogen 1 is a whey-dominant formula that's easy to digest.

Other options: Consider formulas like Nan Pro 1, Enfamil A+, or Similac Advance, which are also designed for infants.

Solutions for digestive issues:

Consult a pediatrician: If your baby experiences digestive issues, consult a pediatrician for guidance.

Switch to a different formula: If your baby is experiencing digestive issues, your pediatrician may recommend switching to a different formula.

Burping and feeding techniques: Proper burping and feeding techniques can help alleviate gas and bloating.

Probiotics: Adding probiotics to your baby's formula or giving them probiotic drops can help support digestive health.
