SMA Follow-on Milk – from 6 months (Previously SMA Progress)

Nutritionally superior to cows’ milk

 

SMA Follow-on Milk is SMA’s best complement to the weaning diet from 6 months.  A follow-on milk providing the important nutrients that a growing baby needs.

We recommend using SMA Follow-on Milk for feeding babies from 6 months. SMA Follow-on Milk complements the weaning diet by providing additional nutrients. For more information about weaning click here.

 

More about SMA Follow-on Milk

 

We recommend mums use SMA Follow-on Milk as SMA’s best milk when their 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 maybe lacking in weaning diets). Babies are born with a natural store of iron but this is used up by the age of 4-6 months and then needs to be supplied by from 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
  • SMA Follow-on Milk powder is suitable for both Halal and vegetarian diets

 

What are Omega 3 & 6?

Omega 3 and 6 are oils called LCPs. This means long-chain polyunsaturates. LCPs are important components of cell membranes and play a key role in the development of the brain, eye, and nervous system

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.
