Hi,
Formula milk is devices differently for different ages and hence the appropriate formula is fine for the age of the child. We recommend formula 1 for up to 6 Months.
However, lactogen should be avoided in lactose intolerant people. There are other formula milk especially devices for such infants which does not Contain lactose, you should ask for that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
