More about SMA Follow-on Milk...

 

We recommend using SMA Follow-on Milk as SMA’s best milk when your baby is starting to wean because:

 

  • SMA Follow-on Milk has an improved protein quality (containing higher levels of alpha-protein than cows’ milk).

  • SMA Follow-on Milk contains Omega 3 and 6 to help healthy brain and eye development. Not all Follow-on milks contain these important nutrients.

  • SMA Follow-on Milk contains increased levels of iron (a nutrient which is often difficult for weaning babies to obtain from their diet).  Babies are born with a natural store of iron but this is used up by the age of 4-6 months and the needs to be supplied by their diet.

  •  SMA Follow-on Milk also contains recommended levels of other important nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B6 and B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Calcium, Zinc, Potassium and Vitamin E.

  • SMA Follow-on Milk can also be used in weaning recipes.  For lots of ideas visit our meal planner

  • SMA Follow-on Milk  powder is suitable for both Halal and Vegetarian diets

IMPORTANT NOTICE: SMA Follow-on Milk is only suitable for babies over 6 months as part of a mixed diet. It should not be used as a substitute for breast milk during the first 6 months of life. The decision to start weaning or to use follow-on milk before 6 months, should be made only on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist, based on your baby’s specific growth and development needs.
