Benefits of Grass-fed Milk in Baby Formula

Learn about the key differences between grass-fed milk and regular milk, and why formula made with grass-fed milk can be a better pick for your baby.

Grass-fed milk for baby formula

With so many buzzwords used on whole foods and packaged goods, it can be difficult to separate what’s meaningful. When it comes to grass-fed milk, there’s no hype—only a naturally nutrient-dense option that’s closest to nature to support healthy growth and development.

What is Grass-fed Milk?

Grass-fed milk is produced by cows that graze outdoors in a pasture as opposed to being fed an indoor, grain-based diet. It is also sometimes called “grassmilk.” Because cows are ruminants—animals that have a four-chambered stomach—they are uniquely able to digest grass and other fibrous plants they forage in the pasture, getting the nutrition they need for themselves, as well as producing nutrient-rich milk.

While the specific nutritional makeup of milk is influenced by many factors, including the cow’s diet, region, and general farming practices, there are a few common benefits of grass-fed cow’s milk compared to milk from indoor, grain-fed cows.

What Do We Mean by 365-Day Grass-fed?

A good question to ask when you’re considering adding grass-fed milk to your diet—or infant formula made with grass-fed milk to your baby’s diet—is how often grass-fed cows actually consume grass. At Aussie Bubs, our cows graze outside, on Australian grass pasture, 365 days a year. That’s as free-range as you can get!

What Are the Benefits of Grass-fed Milk?

Studies comparing grass-fed milk to regular milk have shown several nutritional advantages. If you’re considering infant formula made with grass-fed milk, here’s what you need to know:

  • Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids: Instrumental in brain and eye development in babies.
  • Protein: Essential for growth, development, and support of major body functions in infancy and throughout life.
  • Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA): Important for infants; has anticarcinogenic, anti-obese, antidiabetic, and antihypertensive properties.
  • Beta-carotene: Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; converts to vitamin A in the body, supporting vision, immune system, and healthy skin.

Why Choose Infant Formula Made with Grass-fed Milk?

When choosing an infant formula for your baby, pure, high-quality ingredients are non-negotiable. Cows are meant to graze and forage. They have an amazing digestive system that converts wide-ranging material sources into nutrient-dense food, making milk from grass-fed cows closest to nature.
