Company says yes, my pediatric nutritionist says no! Some of the ingredients, egg being one specifically, is not suited for infants. We did give this to our second child after breast feeding for 7 months and he did fine. We liked it was rice not corn based and the ingredient list seemed to be far more nutritious than anything else on the market. Company assured me, yes for infants just labeled for toddlers to promote breast feeding for the first 12 months.Come to introducing it to our 3rd and severely constipated...it was TERRIBLE.

Hi Abbie, I did a lot of research before I decided to use Baby's Only toddler formula. I wondered the same thing, because I was looking to switch my daughter at 4 months as well. I read on many different websites, including their own. that they label their formula "toddler formula" because as a company they feel that the best milk for babies is breast milk. Here is a quote from their website: "Breast milk is the best organic choice. Baby's Only Organic is labeled a toddler formula to promote breast milk as the best first option. Following breast milk, parents can continue providing organic nutrition using Baby's Only Organic formula. For a baby less than 12-months, use as directed by a healthcare professional. "

We used this from birth without any problems, but we also breasted half the time as well. She not a "toddler" quite yet but doesn't take formula anymore because she's eating solids.

From what I read, it's labeled Toddler formula is because it contains egg. Egg is a potential allergen and not recommended until a baby is over a year old.

Yes you can, its called Toddler formula more as a matter of principle (to encourage breastfeeding) than because it is any different from baby formula.

I think that you can but I did wait until my boys were 1 y/o before giving it to them. The company says toddler formula not because it lacks nutrition (compare with other brands infant formula and everything should look the same or very similar) but rather because they believe breast milk is best for infants under the age 1. Its completely up to the parents comfort level. The company is very responsive so can contact them and ask.

Hello,To be honest we stopped using this brand a while back, first of all as they didn't not feel "comfortable" putting "baby" on it for us was a big red flag.Yes we know breast milk is the most important nutrition a baby can get but we also need some clarity here! lolI don't see any other brands using this term so not sure exactly why they would use this as an excuse.Anyway we switched to Holle, some much more exceptional product, wow nothing even comparable on the market.I would just recommend that instead, well worth it and it seems every body that tries it is completely sold on it.Good luck!

I feed it to my cat when she was a kitten...it is for all ages. I had a 2 month old and a 12 year old...and they both did fine with it.

Hi Haley,Depending upon the age of your toddler, I would spray it in my mouth to show her that it's ok. And then, ask her if she would like to try it. If she says yes, then I would try one gentle spray. If she is too young or says no, I would spray it on a spoon and have her take it that way. In either case, I would tell her to swish it around in her mouth for 10-20 seconds as it is most effective when absorbed in the mouth, rather than by swallowing it.

It usually last me almost a month depends on how much milk the child drinks try mixing it with a little baby cereal if you want it to last and each scoop is a ounce water

You can put almost anything that will fit, but just be sure it's age appropriate for your baby. Here are some of the foods I have put in here for my baby:Breast milk mini ice-cubes (great for teething)Frozen yogurt cubes (also great for teething)Frozen and fresh fruit (bananas, apples, pears, peaches, mango, etc.)Vegetables (peas, potatoes, avacado, tomatoes, etc.)I have not introduced meat to baby yet, but if you're at that stage you could dice up meat and put it in the feeder as well. Hope that's helpful. :)

I would like to think from as early as a year old should be able to take this because of it's natural ingredients but I would probably start this on a child from two upward. Give a smaller dose and add some water.

After they change ingradian (add more vit B) I don't think the new ingradian good for four month baby. It make baby have too much energy to sleep.

I got these for my 8 month old. They dissolve, so as soon as they are on food you could really give these to baby. My almost 4 year old loves them, but I limit how many he can have.

i have no idea...my baby is nearly 1 year old and is doing just fine and not on newborn formula (obviously) anymore so I have no idea...it was given to me by a hospital though so who knows

You can pretty much put whatever you want your baby to try. I have been using just ice in mine as my baby is 4months and is teething already!

The tablets are very easy to chew, but I would be concerned about the dosage, since it is not formulated for infants, so I would read the instruction carefully, ithere is an age range which ithe pills are targeted for. There are infant formulae at amazon you can get. I would worry about the tablet got stuck in an 18 month old's throat. I think a liquid formula is safer. An 18 month old infant cannot follow your instructions. I have used up my supply, so I cannot check for you.

They say toddlers only because they believe breastfeeding the first year. The formula is fine for young babies and still meets their nutritional needs. Our ped told us it's fine to use. Our baby is 8 weeks old.

Once you have opened the bottle, it must be used within a hour. Do not use it after an hour, it is no longer good for use and will not be good for your baby's tummy. Just like cow's milk begins to expire after so long, so does ready to feed baby formula. It will begin to sour and will no longer be safe to feed your baby after an hour. So with that being said, you may refrigerate the milk in between uses, if the baby doesn't drink it all at one time... but after an hour has passed upon you opening the seal of the ready to feed bottle, I advise you to discard it and open up a fresh one. But in my opinion, I would not use these bottles if your baby doesn'tnot drink 2 oz quite yet. I would purchase the powder formula so that you can control how much you make. Though these bottles are convenient, our babies don't always drink it all in one sitting and by the time they want more milk, the bottle we opened before will be no good. Just telling you from my own personal experience. The powder formula comes with a scoop and it gives you more control over how much you make for a feeding. This is especially convenient when you begin to learn your baby's eating patterns.

No rice noodles, just cereal and you can start to give it to 4 months old baby mixed with formula or breast milk.

I pumped but you could hand express and mix and either cup feed or syringe feed. It's such a small amount you could mix with water too. If baby is on solids you could mix with that too.

you can only feed it "pretend" milk. Regular milk will give it an upset tummy and it will spit it out so don't try it.
