At Sprout Organic, we believe that breast milk is unequivocally the best source of nutrition for infants. However, we also understand that breastfeeding is not always possible or the informed personal choice of all mothers, and in these circumstances a scientifically-developed infant formula that satisfies the nutritional requirements of babies is the only safe alternative.
INFANT FORMULA INGREDIENTSWhile all formula sold in Australia needs to meet stringent nutritional and hygiene standards set by the Standard 2.9.1 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, the ingredients used to achieve these requirements can differ greatly. Most baby formulas on the market are made from dried cow's milk with vitamins, minerals and vegetable oils added. In addition to the required nutrients essential for growth and development, as set out in Standard 2.9.1, there may be additional ‘optional ingredients’ that are present in baby formulas that may set one formula

Protein is critical for growth, development, and health. The most common question that plant-based families get asked, especially when referring to children, is: “Where do they get their protein from?”
Protein is certainly an important part of your family’s diet and understanding what protein does and the best plant sources of protein will help make sure everyone in your family is meeting theirprotein needs.
What is protein?
Protein is a component of every cell in your body, including your nails and hair. It’s used to build and repair muscles and tissues, as well as to make enzymes and hormones, and as a building block of bones, cartilage, skin, and blood.
So, not surprisingly, we need protein to survive and grow properly.
Why plant protein?
People don’t eat single nutrients, they consume the whole food. When consuming plant-based proteins, from whole foods

The world of supplements can be very confusing. As a parent, there is often so much information on what are the most important nutrients for kids and the best way to achieve the recommended daily intake for these nutrients. In this article, we look at what we consider to be 5 of the most important ingredients for kids and their role in our NEW Sprout Organic Junior Plant Protein Shake.
1. Iron
Proper iron intake is extremely important through all stages of life. In extreme deficiencies (anaemia), a delay in children's growth rate and long-term problems for their development and behaviour can be seen. Iron is the most common nutrient deficiency in both children and adults - regardless of the diet one follows. We don’t say this to scare you, but to highlight the fact that all parents should focus on including iron-rich foods in

As with most significant events in life, the transition and experience is often smoother when you have prior knowledge and understanding of what’s to come. The same goes for pregnancy, birth and feeding your baby; education is vital! In our blog below, we aim to provide you with education around simple ways you and your partner can prepare for the first year of your feeding journey, whether breastfeeding or formula feeding (or both!). For mamas-to-be, it’s important to remember that as much as you may prepare and plan for your feeding journey, sometimes plans change or unexpected things happen that mean you have to adapt your plan, depending on what is best for you and your baby.
Whichever way you feed your baby, all methods take mental and physical preparation. During the antenatal period, your healthcare provider will likely discuss your options around feeding your baby with you. Most healthcare professionals will promote breastfeeding and discuss the benefits of this mode of

July 01, 2022Iron is a crucial component of the growth and development of our little ones. Without conscious planning, it’s all too easy for our kids to become iron deficient, which is the most common cause of anaemia for kids in Australia. But with the simple addition of iron-rich foods to their diets, you can ensure this part of their development is being fully supported.For adults, iron is often associated with a big slab of red meat, such as steak. But needless to say, this isn’t a suitable option for young kids - especially if you’re raising them on a plant-based diet! However, there are plenty of nutritious plant foods that you can add to your kids’ lunchboxes or cook with in family meals to help boost their daily iron intake.In this blog, we talk all about the ins and outs of kids’ iron needs and go over some of our favourite plant-based foods that are rich in this mineral.Iron Needs and Plant-Based KidsIron deficiency highlights

June 05, 2022Like all parents, we know that the health and wellness of our little ones always come first. Having a baby on the way is one of the most exciting and unnerving of times; it’s a duality that is felt by all parents-to-be as we prepare for the most joyful, loving and life-changing experiences that we get to experience! One decision that all parents face is how to feed their children in order to give them the best nutrition possible to fuel their development and grow up happy and healthy. But no matter how thorough our preparation for our bubs’ feeding journey may be, sometimes things don’t work out so smoothly. The unexpected CAN happen and we may have to adapt. Whether you’re weaning off breastmilk or making the switch between formulas, read below our best practice for making the transition to our plant-based formula so that you can feel confident in making adjustments - planned or otherwise - to your feeding journey!
