More about SMA Staydown
- Thickened with an easily digestible, pre-cooked corn starch that thickens on contact with stomach acid, making it less likely to be brought back up into the oesophagus
- Safe and well tolerated
- Contains nucleotides to help develop the immune system
What is significant reflux?
Most babies bring back some of their feeds. However if a baby is bringing back milk more frequently and in larger volumes it may be significant reflux and medical advice should be sought by the carer
Most babies grow out of this condition by 12 to 18 months of age

When should SMA Staydown be used?
SMA Staydown can be used from birth up until 18 months of age. However, all babies are individual, and the problem may stop around the time of weaning, in which case mums can switch back to an infant formula, such as SMA First Infant Milk (Formerly SMA Gold). Or if the baby is over 6 months, mum may choose a follow-on milk such as SMA Follow-on Milk (Formerly SMA Progress), which is specially formulated for older babies as part of a mixed weaning diet
