ISOMIL

    Isomil baby formula is soy-based and is generally prescribed to babies who are known to be lactose intolerant. Allergies to milk are quite common among babies and are also good for children if breast milk is not available. However, before using this as an alternative for milk, doctor should be consulted. Doctors have found out that this formula is not harsh on the baby’s stomach which means that this can be digested easily.
