LittleOak Infant Formula is made with the natural goodness of whole goat’s milk. It is the first baby formula in the world to be certified 100% palm-oil free.

Goat’s milk supports gentle digestion and may be a good alternative to cow’s milk for babies with sensitive tummies. Goat milk is naturally high in prebiotics and vitamins including Vitamin K, B5, Biotin, Choline, Manganese and Selenium, all necessary nutrients for growth and development.

Proudly made in New Zealand, it is a natural and nutritionally complete formula, manufactured to the highest food safety standards using only non-GMO ingredients.

Stage One Formula is best suited to infants aged 0 - 6 months.

Preparation Instructions

Nutritional Information 

LittleOak FAQs

Does your formula cause any gas or constipation?

Goat’s milk is generally easier for babies to digest for several reasons: Firstly, it naturally contains more A2 casein. Goat milk has less than half the A1 casein protein found in cow’s milk. Like in adults, the A1 protein can be the cause of many digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, wind, and pain in babies. Finally, our goat’s milk is a rich source of nutrients including oligosaccharides or pre-biotics that assist indigestion.

Is your formula Organic?

Most of the whole goat milk we use is farmed using organic practices Although our formula is not organic, It’s quite a process to become an organically certified farm which is why many of the farms that we source our milk from choose not to pursue certification.

All of our ingredients are as naturally and sustainably sourced as possible, including our DHA and ARA (from algal sources) and more importantly, our cold-pressed flaxseed oil from the South Island in New Zealand.

Most of the whole goat’s milk we use is farmed using organic practices although our formula is not yet certified organic.

How do you transition from breastfeeding or another brand of formula to LittleOak?

It is so important to transition slowly from breastfeeding to formula or between different brands of formula. Changing too quickly from another formula to LittleOak or even from breastfeeding to LittleOak can cause your baby discomfort to their immature digestive system. Our qualified team is here to help and provide advice and guidance around the best transition plan that suits you and your little one.

Do you add any sugars or sweeteners to your formula?

For your peace of mind, we do not add any artificial sugars or sweeteners to our blends. We find our beautifully natural goats milk does not need any sugars or additives and do not want to introduce infants and toddlers to sugars unnecessarily.

What are the benefits of Flaxseed oil in LittleOak's blends?

At LittleOak, we use cold-pressed coconut and flaxseed oils to deliver most of our fatty acids. Many health benefits of Flaxseed oil are supported by recent scientific research and extensive studies.

1. Flaxseed is one of nature’s richest plant sources of Omega 3 fatty acids and in particular the alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which the body uses to contribute to normal blood cholesterol levels. The ALA created by the body from Omega 3 fatty acids works alongside lignans to affect the white blood cells that help the immune system.
2. Flaxseed is a great source of protein and this can be a great contributor to the development and maintenance of muscles and normal bones. As well as this, protein helps repair tissues and cells, which is good news for all those bumps and bruises kids tend to get growing up.
3. Emerging science suggests that the high concentration of fatty acids in flaxseed oil, namely Omega 3, are beneficial for childs’ brain health, particularly its protective effects on the brain and its potential ability to reduce hyperactivity.

Can I freeze the formula?

No, it is not recommended to freeze the formula powder.

Once the formula tin is opened, how long is the powder safe to use?

We recommend using the formula powder within 30 days but it can last up to 60 days if stored correctly – ie a cool, dry cupboard.
