<<I would NOT use infant formula with infant cereal for breastfed babies. The proteins in regular infant formula are NOT modified to any appreciable extent, and would pose an unreasonable risk of allergy for a six- to ten-month-old infant who has not yet been exposed to cow's milk.>> I have read that there are no studies that prove any health differences between babies fed "infant formula" and straight cow's milk. If this is the case, it certainly supports what Arly has said about the proteins in infant formula. Is there research I have missed?
