A member asked:
Can you give a 6mth baby powdered milk? just curious to know the differences between formula and powdered milk other than just the added vitamins .

Hard on the kidneys: Formula comes in powder form. If you mean cows milk, it's not recommended until your child is a year old. Whole milk may be hard on the baby's kidneys.
