Question 1

What is bovine colostrum and why is it in BABYSMILK?

Accepted Answer

Colostrum is the first milk produced by female mammals in the first 24–72 hours after birth. It is exceptionally rich in immunoglobulins (especially IgG), lactoferrin, and growth factors. In the BABYSMILK formula, it helps support the natural development of a baby's immunity.

Question 2

Is bovine colostrum safe for infants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use colostrum from certified European farms that is hygienically processed, microbiologically tested, and dosed in quantities verified by clinical studies for infant nutrition.

Question 3

What cows does your colostrum come from?

Accepted Answer

From certified dairy farms in the Slovak and Czech Republics, which adhere to strict welfare standards and feed control. Each batch is rigorously controlled.

Question 4

What are the scientifically proven effects of colostrum?

Accepted Answer

In addition to immune support, colostrum also has a beneficial effect on the digestive system – thanks to lactoferrin, IgG immunoglobulins, and growth factors, it helps cultivate gut microflora and regenerate the intestinal lining. This is one reason why babies fed BABYSMILK PREMIUM have a lower risk of developing colic.

Question 5

How does BABYSMILK differ from other formulas on the market?

Accepted Answer

We are the only infant formula in the world that combines pure milk fat and bovine colostrum. Most brands replace milk fat with cheaper vegetable oils – we retain the original milk fat for a more natural composition.

Question 6

Does BABYSMILK contain palm oil or other vegetable oils?

Accepted Answer

No. The PREMIUM range does not contain palm, coconut, rapeseed, or sunflower oil. For comparison: conventional formulas with vegetable oils provide a baby with approximately 35g of oil per day – translated to an 80kg adult, this would be roughly a glass of oil for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We take a different approach – 100 % milk fat, which is also the most digestible (97–99 %).

Question 7

Why doesn't BABYSMILK contain fish oil?

Accepted Answer

Fish oil is often a source of contaminants (heavy metals, dioxins) and fish are common allergens. Therefore, we supplement essential fatty acids from safer sources.

Question 8

Why doesn't BABYSMILK contain probiotics and prebiotics (GOS/FOS)?

Accepted Answer

Live bacteria in dried form lose their effectiveness before the milk's shelf life expires, so their effect would not be guaranteed. However, a more important reason is clinical: probiotics represent only 2–3 strains of bacteria, which can overgrow in the gut microflora and suppress the development of other, equally important strains. Their use should be individual and indicated by a paediatrician – if necessary, you can add them to the milk in the form of drops from a pharmacy.

Question 9

Is BABYSMILK suitable for lactose intolerance?

Accepted Answer

For infants diagnosed with intolerance, we offer the BABYSMILK Lactose Free variant. Always consult a paediatrician before changing nutritional diets.

Question 10

Where and how was the BABYSMILK brand founded?

Accepted Answer

The formula was developed over several years by a team of experts with more than 30 years of experience in infant nutrition. Babysmilk s. r. o. was officially established in 2020, after approval by the Public Health Authority of the Slovak Republic. The PREMIUM range is the only infant milk enriched with colostrum and free of vegetable oils and soy lecithin. We are gradually expanding across Europe.

Question 11

How to properly prepare BABYSMILK infant milk?

Accepted Answer

Pour boiled water (ideally 42-43°C, max. 45°C) into a sterile bottle, add the measured amount of powder according to the instructions on the package, close, and shake thoroughly for up to 20 seconds. Always check the temperature on the inside of your wrist before feeding.

Question 12

What is the dosage by age?

Accepted Answer

The exact dosage is indicated on the packaging of each product and varies according to the child's age and weight. If in doubt, contact your paediatrician or BABYSMILK customer support.

Question 13

How long can prepared milk be stored?

Accepted Answer

Freshly prepared milk is safest – consume it within 2 hours, then discard any leftovers. Never use leftover milk that remained in the bottle.

Question 14

Sometimes I get small lumps in the milk. How can I prevent them?

Accepted Answer

Milk proteins need to dissolve properly – observe the water temperature up to 45°C and shake the bottle thoroughly for up to 20 seconds. A few extra seconds are worth it for smooth milk and a happy baby's tummy.

Question 15

Why is the bottle harder to wash after BABYSMILK?

Accepted Answer

This is because our formula contains 100 % milk fat and colostrum, no emulsifiers or vegetable oils. What you see on the bottle walls is real milk fat. We recommend BABYSMILK gel for washing teats and bottles.

Question 16

What setting should I use on the BabyBreeza machine to prepare BABYSMILK?

Accepted Answer

For optimal preparation of our infant formulas, we recommend selecting setting number 5 on the BabyBreeza machine. This setting ensures the right consistency and milk temperature for comfortable feeding.

Question 17

Why do babies on BABYSMILK PREMIUM have a lower risk of colic?

Accepted Answer

BABYSMILK fully supports breastfeeding as the best nutrition. However, if breastfeeding is not possible, our PREMIUM formula with 100 % milk fat (digestibility 97–99 %) and colostrum is significantly easier to digest than formulas with vegetable oils, which are often associated with digestive difficulties and colic. Colostrum is also scientifically proven to support the digestive system.

Question 18

What can I use BABYSMILK dermocosmetic cream for?

Accepted Answer

The cream is developed with colostrum, zinc oxide, panthenol, and almond oil – it has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties and soothes irritation. Suitable from birth: for nappy changes, nappy rash (unlike steroid creams, it does not disrupt hormonal balance), chafing, as a body cream after bathing, and as face protection in the cold. Also suitable for adults.

Question 19

Are the anti-stretch mark balm and other cosmetics dermatologically tested?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all BABYSMILK cosmetic products are dermatologically tested and clinically proven. The anti-stretch mark balm contains active ingredients Striover and Algactiv in combination with colostrum, whose growth factors accelerate skin regeneration. Our cosmetics are registered in the European CPNP portal.

Question 20

What are the effects of colostrum in baby shampoo and bath foam?

Accepted Answer

Shampoo and foam with colostrum protect sensitive baby skin from dryness, allergens, and pathogens. Colostrum regenerates skin cells and also helps with scalp seborrhoea, which is common in newborns. Also suitable for adults with sensitive skin.

Question 21

In what form do you offer BABYSMILK Colostrum and what types do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our BABYSMILK Colostrum is a 100 % natural nutritional supplement, which we offer in convenient capsules and powdered form. To cover your family's specific health needs, we have enriched our pure colostrum into four special lines:
1. BABYSMILK Colostrum + Acerola + Vitamin C: For maximum immune support and cell protection.
2. BABYSMILK Colostrum + Beta-glucans + Probiotics: For strong immunity and healthy gut microflora.
3. BABYSMILK Colostrum + Vitamin D3 + K2: For healthy bone development and proper calcium absorption.
4. BABYSMILK Colostrum Urinax: Special support for urinary tract health and comfort.
Simply choose the variant that best suits your body's needs.

Question 22

Why do you only have 2 types of porridge and no fruit flavours?

Accepted Answer

We do not use artificial flavours – the milk-rice porridge with apple contains 100 % real apple pieces. The proportion of milk nutrition in our porridges is 47.5–50 %, which is the highest on the market. We chose apple because it has the highest vitamin C content among fruits, which a child needs when transitioning to solid foods. The second porridge is pure milk-rice with colostrum – a versatile option, so you can add any fresh blended fruit to taste.

Question 23

How should I store an opened package?

Accepted Answer

Store an opened tin in a dry place at temperatures up to 25°C, tightly sealed. Consume within 3 weeks of opening.

Question 24

What is the shelf life of an unopened package?

Accepted Answer

The best before date is indicated on the bottom of the tin. When sealed, usually 18–24 months from the date of manufacture.

Question 25

Where can I buy BABYSMILK?

Accepted Answer
