If you’re transitioning to formula and looking to dry up your milk supply, CaboCréme can help ease discomfort and gradually reduce milk production. Here’s what you need to know about the best formulas for your baby and how CaboCréme can support your journey.
Our Favorite Formula Options for Your Baby’s Nutrition
Today’s formulas are designed to closely mimic breast milk, providing the essential nutrients your baby needs.
Here are some of our top choices if you’re looking for natural, high-quality options:
Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Formula
If your baby has a sensitive tummy or allergies, Nutramigen is a gentle and hypoallergenic option designed specifically for babies who have difficulty with regular formula. Nutramigen is fortified with iron and has DHA to support brain and eye development.
The proteins in this formula are extensively hydrolyzed, meaning they’re broken down to be easier to digest, which can help reduce fussiness and colic caused by allergies. For parents looking to support healthy growth and ease digestive issues, Nutramigen offers a solid alternative.
Bobbie Organic Infant Formula
Bobbie Organic Infant Formula is a USDA-certified organic formula inspired by European-style formulas. It’s known for its commitment to quality, using only organic lactose as the carbohydrate source with no added corn syrup or palm oil.
Bobbie is fortified with DHA and ARA to support brain development, closely following the nutrient profile of breast milk. For parents who value high-quality, clean ingredients, Bobbie is an excellent choice that meets rigorous standards.
Burt's Bees Baby Ultra Gentle Organic Formula
Burt's Bees Baby Ultra Gentle Organic formula is designed for babies with sensitive tummies, making it a gentle, effective breast milk alternative. This formula includes specially selected proteins to reduce gas and fussiness and is free from added hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs.
Rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and DHA for eye and brain development, this organic formula also includes prebiotics to help support your baby’s immune system. It’s a USDA-certified choice that provides peace of mind for mothers seeking a natural formula.
Earth's Best Organic Dairy Formula
Earth's Best Organic Dairy Formula is crafted from certified organic milk and is suitable for babies who can tolerate dairy. This formula is fortified with DHA, ARA, and lutein for eye development and includes prebiotic fiber to support your baby’s immune health.
For babies with sensitive digestive systems, Earth's Best offers a reduced-lactose Sensitivity formula. This line provides options that cater to a range of dietary needs while focusing on organic and natural ingredients.
Holle Organic Goat Milk Formula Stage 1
If your baby is sensitive to cow’s milk, Holle Organic Goat Milk Stage 1 formula may be a great alternative. Goat’s milk is gentler on little tummies and is structurally closer to human milk, making it easier for babies to digest.
Holle’s goat milk formula contains essential nutrients, including DHA, for healthy growth and development. This European-based brand follows strict organic regulations, ensuring high-quality nutrition from goat farms that meet high standards.
