Toddler formula could be unhealthy

"Given the lack of regulation, it's not surprising that there is wide variation in the composition of toddler formulas. But what is particularly worrisome, says the AAP, is that some of these products are actually unhealthy. They may have too little or too much protein, or have added sweeteners. These added sweeteners can build a child's "sweet tooth" and set them on the path to obesity. Additionally, toddler formulas are more expensive than cow's milk, creating a financial burden for families — one that is definitely not worth it."
