What formula is best for a 22-month-old baby?

A 1-year-and-10-month-old toddler may consume prebiotic-enriched formula, amino acid-based formula, or calcium-fortified formula.

1. Prebiotic-enriched formula: Such formulas typically offer rich nutritional value. Prebiotics aid digestion and nutrient absorption while also softening stools to help alleviate constipation.

2. Amino acid-based formula: This type of formula is primarily indicated for infants with cow’s milk protein allergy. Switching to an amino acid-based formula can effectively relieve allergic symptoms while still providing essential nutrients to support healthy growth and development.

3. Calcium-fortified formula: Around 1 year and 10 months of age, toddlers may become picky eaters, potentially leading to malnutrition and even rickets. Calcium-fortified formula helps replenish essential nutrients and provides supplemental calcium, thereby effectively preventing rickets.
