Breast milk is best for your baby.

Health Canada, the Canadian Paediatric Society and the Dietitians of Canada recommend that you exclusively breastfeed your baby for the first 6 months and that you continue to breastfeed for up to 2 years or longer along with complementary foods.

SIMILAC® SENSITIVE® LACTOSE SENSITIVITY

gas-fussiness

Babies are fussy and gassy at times, and unfortunately, they don’t come with feeding instructions to tell you exactly what to do. Your baby’s frequent fussiness and gas may be a sign that you should try a different formula. Easy to digest, Similac® Sensitive® Lactose Sensitivity is a nutritionally complete formula that is specially designed for babies who are sensitive to lactose. It is also non-GMO* and made with milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones.

† Similar to other infant formulas.
*Ingredients not genetically engineered.
Not suitable for infants with galactosemia, congenital lactase deficiency, or confirmed cow’s milk protein allergy.
