The LittleOak Promise

LittleOak is on a mission to create a world where every little one has the very best nutrition to help them grow and thrive. The company believes that nothing can prepare children for the world more than the world itself. Nature, after all, is our greatest provider. This is why we at Granola Baby fell in love with the natural benefits of fresh goat milk and have promoted it in our range of toddler drinks.

While breastfeeding remains the healthiest option to feed your baby, we understand that for many families, incorporating baby formula is a viable and healthy alternative that allows for flexibility. Several factors may impact a family’s decision to use baby formula, ranging from low breast milk supply to latching issues. For new parents, finding the right formula is a stressful yet important decision. 

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.

Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the popular Stage 2 infant formula from LittleOak, including research studies from medical experts and opinions from leading pediatricians.

Why choose goat over cow milk for your babies?

LittleOak is created by mums who have been through exactly the same worries as you. Drawing on the experience of a nutrition and pediatric expert, we understand how overwhelming it can be to make the right choice for your baby’s nutrition. With so many conflicting opinions and confusing terms, it can be impossible to know which way to turn.

We’ve gone on ahead and have done the research for you. Our team of experts have created a formula made with whole goat’s milk, cold-pressed flaxseed oil and natural vitamins and minerals. It is free of palm oil and canola oil. Many parents choose LittleOak as a first option when they decide to move on from breastfeeding or are combination feeding. If you are already using cow milk toddler milk, LittleOak may be a suitable alternative.

Compared to cow milk, goat milk has smaller, easier to digest fat globules. It is also lower in lactose making it more gentle on little tummies. Goat milk naturally contains only A2 casein protein, so it is less inflammatory than cow milk. Just as importantly goat milk is high in naturally occurring oligosaccharides and taurine, whereas cow milk has none. Goat milk also has better bioavailability of key nutrients including iron, calcium and magnesium.

Pros & Cons of LittleOak Stage 2 Formula

Based on my own experience with LittleOak, here are the pros and cons of the product.

What I liked about LittleOak Stage 2 Formula:

  • Its nutrition. The most important factor in choosing baby formula for my kids is the nutritional aspect. We are a health-conscious family and seeing the natural ingredients used in the formulas put LittleOak at the top of our list.
  • The limited options. I liked that LittleOak found a recipe that works for each primary stage of a baby's development. We weren't overloaded with a variety of choices that needed deeper research to go through.
  • The taste. Compared with the other formula brands we tried, our babies loved the taste of LittleOak goat milk. No spitting up ever occurred and our babies were genuinely happy to be drinking the formula.

What I didn’t like about LittleOak Stage 2 Formula:

  • The availability. Let's face it, most families have encountered some issues with finding stock on their baby formula of choice. LittleOak was no different and the fact they there are limited retailers stocking the formula, it was a little difficult to get our hands on. That's why we chose to buy a few month's worth of product at a time.
  • The delivery times. Being from New Zealand, the products did take about a week to arrive to our home in Connecticut. We always have some in stock at home before repurchasing so it was no big deal but I can see how this could be a little frustrating for parents in a pinch.
