Is Nido 1+ Safe For An 18 Month Old Baby?

Hello!! I have read a few questions that people made about Nido 1+ milk, however, my doubt is not clear yet. A coworker have suggested me that I should stop giving Nido to my 18month boy due to the ingredients in it - specially the maltodextrin which can cause cancer besides Nido is manmade therefore is not natural at all however cow s milk in usa contain hormones which in is manmade too. I give Nido twice or three times a day as smoothies not itself. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Nido is dried whole milk enriched with vitamins and minerals.
You can safely give to children above one year of age.
I do not think it is cancer prone.
But it is wise to put him on solids and semisolid natural foods as the child is 18 months old.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
