Choosing a MIP Colostrum Routine for Your Child

Learn how to choose an age-appropriate MIP Colostrum format, follow the product label and build a simple routine for your family.

Children’s serving directions are not adult directions scaled down by guesswork. Check the age guidance and serving instructions on the exact product being used, because formats and formulations differ.

MIP Colostrum Chews are a convenient option for children aged 5+ when used according to the label. Other MIP formats should also be used only according to their own label directions.

Article takeaways

  • Choose a format the child can take safely and consistently.
  • Follow the exact product’s age and serving directions.
  • Check milk allergy, lactose and the full ingredient list before use.

Powder can be mixed into cool food or drink and may suit a home routine. Chews are portable and can suit children aged 5+, while capsules require the ability to swallow them safely and must follow their product guidance.

Vitality Blend contains additional vitamins and minerals, so it is not interchangeable with plain colostrum formats and its labelled serving should not be exceeded.

Linking the chosen format to breakfast or another regular meal can make it easier to remember. A routine does not need multiple MIP products or frequent changes to be worthwhile.

Parents should keep track of what is being given, especially when several supplements or fortified foods are used in the household.

MIP Colostrum contains milk and naturally occurring lactose and is not suitable for a child with a milk allergy. Parents should obtain appropriate advice when a child has a diagnosed condition, takes medication, has persistent symptoms or follows a medically restricted diet.

MIP Colostrum can be one optional part of a child’s wider food and wellbeing routine. It should remain simple, label-led and secondary to balanced meals, sleep, movement and appropriate healthcare.
