Yes, please refer to the individual product cans/pages for these statements.

Our formula comes in different stages suitable to help your little one every step of the way. 

See below for more information on the stages

Stage 1 and Stage 2 are made with relatively similar ingredients, but the ratios are slightly higher for Stage 2 to cater for your child’s needs as they grow older. 

Stage 2 is slightly more concentrated and feeding frequency will be less compared to Stage 1.

Stage 3 is designed to nourish children of 12 months and older and is designed to provide more protein, a selection of vitamins and minerals to support growth and overall wellbeing.

Stage 3 Toddler and Stage 4 Junior are made to the same nutritional levels suitable for children over 12 months of age.

The main difference between stages 3 and 4 is that stage 4 has added lutein and natural vanilla flavour to cater for fussy eaters and growth requirements.

No, there is no added table sugar (sucrose) in our product range. We top up with bovine lactose, which is naturally occurring milk sugar, to achieve the carbohydrate level specified in the Food Standard Code Australia New Zealand.

Yes, our products do contain lactose. If your little one is lactose intolerant, then our products would not be suitable.

Yes, our entire product range is preservative and gluten free.

Yes, Baby Steps is Halal accredited with New Zealand’s MPI regulations.

GOS is an oligosaccharide, which is a type of prebiotic.

DHA and ARA are abbreviated terms for Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA). DHA and ARA are omega fatty acids that are essential nutrients for your child that need to be obtained through diet as it is not produced naturally. Our omega-3 DHA and ARA are sustainably sourced from non-fish sourced and extracted without the use of neurotoxic chemicals or solvents.

Baby Steps uses a vegetable oil blend containing high oleic sunflower oil, canola oil, and coconut oil. This blend provides a good source of fatty acids to support your child’s growth and development. 

No added Palm Oil. Refined Sugar Free. Preservatives Free 

Yes. If you are wanting to change milk drinks, we recommend replacing the milk drink earlier in the day for the first few days, to allow you to observe if your little one has any reactions. If your child has no reactions, then continue to replace the feeds needed.

It might be good to note that it is rare for a child to react badly to a change of milk drink. However, every child is different.Below are the changes you may see or hear within the first 24 hours, if your child is sensitive and reacting to the change.

Gas can be normal. If your baby is just producing gas with no other signs, then it can be a normal adjustment to a change in food.  Additionally, it can be from another food they are eating, if on solids.

You should contact your doctor immediately if blood is found in your child’s stool or they are vomiting.

Call your doctor immediately.
