What is Gerber Good Start Gentle?
Gerber Good Start Gentle is a brand-name, over-the-counter baby formula for nursing children in their first year. It is formulated to support the growth and development of the infant's central nervous system and contains easily digested proteins and probiotics.
Gerber Good Start Gentle contains milk supplemented by nutrients, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and HMO (human milk oligosaccharide). DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, supports the growth of an infant's brain and retina. HMO is a carbohydrate found in breast milk and, as a prebiotic, supports the growth of bacteria and yeast that are critical in helping a baby to digest food.
Gerber Good Start Gentle also uses partially hydrolyzed proteins (partially digested proteins) that are easier to digest than the proteins commonly found in milk. Probiotics are bacteria and yeast that live in the gut and help with food digestion.
What are the side effects of Gerber Good Start Gentle?
There are no side effects of Gerber Good Start Gentle substantially different from those of other baby formulas or breastfeeding, such as decreased feeding or occasional stomach upset.
Infants that are formula-fed, no matter what the formula, have a higher statistical incidence of infections, weight gain, and high insulin levels than breastfed babies.
