The 8 Best Infant Formulas - 2022 Ranking

Goattiny infant formulas, which are in fourth place in the ranking, are manufactured at the Goldim plant in the Czech Republic. The manufacturer notes that the amount of protein in the product is reduced. The mixture itself was enriched with whey of goat and sheep milk. According to the manufacturer, this is done to bring the composition closer to breast milk. Also in Goattiny products vegetable oils and encapsulated marine fish oil are present. In addition, there are many prebiotics and probiotics. The disadvantages of users include the fact that the product can only be purchased in a small cardboard package, which is not very convenient from a practical point of view.

The third place in the ranking of "What is the best mixture for a newborn" on goat's milk is "Nanny", which was brought from New Zealand. Goats are specially selected for production. The mixture is low in alpha-S1-casein. At the same time, it contains many other proteins that are useful for the child's body. One of the distinguishing features is also the absence of additional processing of milk. As the manufacturer noted, this ensures the maximum possible preservation of the useful qualities of the product. Biotin, which is included in the mixture, will help support the baby's digestion. And folic acid will take care of the immunity of the newborn. For newborns, the company produces two types of mixtures - classic and with prebiotics. The second option is especially good for children with whimsical digestion. All Nanny mixes are easy to dilute and taste good.

Mamako products are manufactured at the ILAS S.A. plant, which is located in northern Spain in Asturias. On the pluses: the composition does not contain palm and rapeseed oils, preservatives, dyes and flavors, as well as GMOs. According to manufacturers, the range meets international food standards, which, however, other participants in the rating can boast of. As part of a number of manufacturer's products, the content of calcium, iodine, and iron minerals is increased. This helps prevent the development of anemia or rickets in babies. There are also probiotics, prebiotics, omega-3 and omega-6. There are also disadvantages that the users drew attention to. Moms noted that the products are difficult to find in retail stores. Most purchases are made online, which is not always convenient.

Kabrita, a mixture developed and produced in the Netherlands, has become the undisputed leader in the ranking of formulas for newborns. The main advantage of goat milk formulas over cow milk formulas is that goat milk is digested faster and easier than cow milk. Kabrita mixtures are enriched with the most valuable goat milk whey. In the initial mixture of Kabrita - 63% of the total protein is represented by easily digestible and well-digested goat milk whey. It is worth noting the unique DigestX fat complex, which contains 42% triglycerides. It is a fatty acid that dominates in breast milk, and which is not present in sufficient quantities in natural animal milk. This fat composition is similar to that of breast milk. Feeding your baby Kabrita will significantly improve digestion, reduce the frequency and intensity of constipation and soften the stool, and also contribute to the development of the child's skeletal system. All this ensures comfortable digestion. The Kabrita blend also contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, probiotics and prebiotics GOS and FOS, which help digestion and build immunity. The only drawback worth mentioning with Kabrita is the price. However, the formula “price = quality” definitely works here.

Similac was in fourth place in the ranking. Mixtures of this brand are developed by the American chemical and pharmaceutical corporation Abbott Laboratories. They do not contain palm oil, which, of course, is a plus. The various products of the line include prebiotics, nucleotides, omega-3, omega-6, various vitamins and minerals. Some are fortified with human milk oligosaccharides. The product line includes products to reduce the frequency of spitting up, as well as reduce colic and constipation. The classic mixture for healthy children pleases parents at an affordable price. Specialized products are slightly more expensive. But in the treatment line, you can choose a product for babies with digestive problems, lactose or cow's milk intolerance. There is a nutritional formula for small and premature babies.

In third place is Friso, a brand from the Netherlands. It produces infant formula in factories in Europe. In various products, the company uses technologies for gentle heat treatment of milk, locust bean gum, a hypoallergenic composition, hydrolyzed whey proteins or casein. The company itself has been on the market for more than half a century, and the mixtures are made on the milk of cows from their own farms. For newborns, Friso produces three types of mixtures. Gold is a classic for healthy babies. Enriched with DHA and ARA fatty acids, prebiotics, vitamins and minerals. Friso VOM helps with colic, frequent regurgitation, constipation. The product is used for treatment while breastfeeding or in combination with the base mixture. Friso HA contains partially digested milk protein, which is better absorbed. Parents put a fat minus only for the content of palm oil in the VOM and HA lines.

The second place among mixtures based on cow's milk is NAN. Products of this brand can be found in the nearest supermarket, which, of course, is a plus. The products are manufactured by Nestle from Switzerland. The absence of palm oil in the composition, as well as a large supply of probiotics, is one of the advantages of the product. As well as the fact that there are no bubbles even with vigorous shaking. This will help babies avoid gas. NAN contains no palm oil. But there is coconut and rapeseed. The NAN brand is optimal in terms of price and quality. For a small cost, parents receive a balanced mixture. It contains an analogue of breast milk oligosaccharides, whey protein, a probiotic for normal digestion, omega-3 fatty acids. In the product line there are mixtures for small children, babies with digestive disorders, lactose intolerance.

In terms of the number of positive reviews and high ratings, Nutrilon is a confident leader in its rating segment. Women claim that the mixture helps the intestinal microflora of babies to develop well.The product, judging by the reviews, also helps to eliminate colic and constipation. Most Nutrilon formulas contain palm oil, which can interfere with your baby's calcium absorption. And those that do not contain this “ingredient” are expectedly more expensive. In addition to classic mixtures for healthy newborns, the company offers a line with useful supplements. These are formulations for premature babies, babies with impaired intestinal absorption syndrome, with lactose intolerance.
