Usually well tolerated; possible bloating, gas, constipation or loose stools, allergy (if sensitive to any ingredient)

Not a substitute for breast milk. Use only for infants older than 6 months; continue breastfeeding as advised. Check ingredients for allergens and avoid if the child has known hypersensitivity. Prepare with clean hands/utensils; improper preparation/storage can cause illness. Consult a pediatrician if the child is premature, underweight, has food allergies, or has a medical condition.

No known drug interactions; if the child is on iron/other supplements, follow pediatrician advice to avoid excessive total intake.
