Switching from dairy formula —
Sprout Organic's formulas are 100% plant-based, built on organic sprouted rice and pea protein rather than cow's dairy — so there's no dairy protein in the base formula at all. If your little one has a diagnosed dairy or cow's milk protein allergy, we'd always recommend checking with your allergist or paediatrician before switching. For most families moving away from dairy, though, Sprout offers a genuinely dairy-free alternative.
Choosing plant-based for your family —
Sprout Organic is a 100% plant-based, organic, vegan-certified, soy-free formula — so your baby's nutrition can align with your family's values from the very first feed. It's formulated to meet FSANZ requirements as a complete, sole source of nutrition, using organic sprouted rice and pea protein, algae-derived DHA and fungal-derived ARA in place of any animal-derived ingredients. Switching over is simple: introduce it gradually alongside breastmilk or your current formula, increasing the ratio over several days, so your baby adjusts comfortably to the new taste and texture.

Managing intolerance or sensitivity —
If your baby seems unsettled on their current formula — reflux, wind, or general fussiness — Sprout's plant-based formulation is a genuinely different option worth considering, though we can't promise it will resolve a specific sensitivity. We'd always recommend discussing ongoing symptoms with your GP, paediatrician or child health nurse first, especially if there's a chance of an underlying condition. When you do switch, go slowly: mix a small amount of Sprout into your baby's current feed and increase gradually over one to two weeks, watching tummy comfort, stools and mood along the way, and pausing if anything seems to worsen.
