As a parent to a newborn baby, you may already feel overwhelmed. One thing that you may have planned prior to baby’s arrival is how you will feed. Perhaps you are at that stage now and can’t narrow it down. This article is here to help as we discuss a popular formula brand, Holle.
Holle has many different formulas, and it might be hard to pick the right one for your baby. Because we want to give our little one the best option there is and can’t ask our baby how they are feeling while they eat, choosing the type is challenging. We discuss the popular A2 formula that Holle offer here to get you some deeper insight.
What is A2 Milk?
You might wonder what exactly A2 milk is and why it might be the perfect option for your baby. There are two types of milk used to produce baby formula, A1 milk and A2 milk. Most baby formulas are made with A1 milk, but more and more brands are bringing A2 milk formulas to their market. A2 milk is a healthier option, compared to A1 milk. It has same protein that A1 contains, but in its original structure, making it easier to digest. Furthermore, the A2 protein is more similar to the proteins found in breast milk.
Holle’s A2 milk for infants is made from cows who are fed a strict plant-based diet, with no hormones and zero antibiotics. The cows exclusively produce the A2 beta-casein protein. The A2 cows are specifically selected with a strict DNA test. Holle A2 organic infant formula contains a selected whey protein and casein mixture. The formula doesn’t contain any soy, corn syrup, GMO’S, gluten, added sugar, wheat, or preservatives. As parents, we can rest assured that the bad ingredients are kept from our baby’s developing bodies.
The formula also contains DHA (as required by the legislation for infant formula). DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is an omega-3 fatty acid. It’s a key nutrient during infancy and early childhood because it helps support brain and eye development. DHA helps support certain learning outcomes, visual acuity, and overall brain development in babies.
A2 Milk Formula for Sensitive Babies
If your baby experiences discomfort, inflammation, and digestive issues then you should consider switching to A2 milk. A2 milk also prevents BCM 7 from reaching your baby’s body. BCM 7 is an opioid peptide released during the digestion of A1 beta-casein. Many parents find that preventing BCM 7 from being released into their baby’s body, by choosing A2 milk has been the best option they could make for their sensitive baby.
