1st age milk is, as the name suggests, the milk you'll offer your baby if you've opted to bottle-feed him or if breast-feeding isn't going as well as expected. This high-quality milk is specifically formulated to be as close as possible to breast milk, and is therefore suited to your baby's nutritional needs during his first months.
Breast milk is indisputably the food best suited to baby's needs: no other milk is so perfect in every respect. But of course, breast-feeding is a very personal decision for every mother.
If you are unable to breastfeed your child, or if you have decided to bottle-feed, specific milks perfectly adapted to the nutritional needs of infants are available from chemists. For children aged 0 to 6 months, we're talking about first-age milk, also known as "infant formula". Whatever brand you choose, it covers all your baby's nutritional needs. Only vitamin D and fluoride supplements are required.
First-age milks are made from cow's milk processed to resemble the natural composition of mother's milk as closely as possible, but their composition is far removed from that of cow's milk as we know it, which is not adapted to children's needs before the age of three.
The special feature of these 1st age baby formulas is their low protein content, perfectly adapted to baby's needs to ensure healthy cerebral and muscular development. This milk contains no more than 1.8 g of protein per 100 ml, compared with 3.3 g per 100 ml in cow's milk and 1 to 1.2 g per 100 ml in breast milk.
The lipid content of 1st age milk is virtually the same as that of breast milk. However, lactic fats are largely replaced by vegetable fats, in order to guarantee the supply of certain essential fatty acids, notably linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid, essential for brain growth.
1st age milks contain 7.65 g of carbohydrates per 100 ml, compared with 6.8 g/100 ml for breast milk and just 4.7 g for cow's milk. Carbohydrates are present in the form of glucose and lactose, as well as maltose dextrin.
1st age milks also contain valuable vitamins such as :

Breast milk is universally recognized as the ideal food for infants, providing a perfect combination of nutrients, antibodies and biological components adapted to the child's needs.
