This couldn't have come at a better time. I need to change DD's formula as she is having diarrhoea from her current one.

Thank you very much for posting this :thumbsup:

can anyone tell me what mOsm/k is?

A lot of that information is on the back of the tins too, but it's hard to compare if you don't have a broad variety where you are. I use nurture 3 gold for my ds (2) because he's low in iron. I did look for another formula that was higher in iron (can't remember which), but when he had it he got constipated. So, these numbers are not all that matter, sometimes it's still trial and error.

Thanks for posting the link.

I hope this is made a sticky in the FFing section, I can imagine many many parents could find it very useful! :yes:

can anyone tell me what mOsm/k is?

haha, i know i am really REALLY late at replying to this but mOsm/k is a unit of measurement
its milliOsmoles per kilogram
mOsm is a measurement of Osmolality.....(to do with the number of osmoles in something, which relates to how osmotic it is )
