Toddler milk products are not substitutes for human breast milk or cow milk for infants, revealed a recent report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Toddler milk or Older Infant-Young Child Formula (OIYCF) is typically aimed at babies older than six to 12 months and below three years of age. It is different from infant formula, which is given to children up to 12 months. Toddler milk products are powdered mixes sold in cans and administered after mixing with water. In an Oct. 20 clinical report, AAP raised concerns about OIYCFs being pushed as a replacement for cow milk or breast milk.
