SMA High Energy from birth to 18 months

There are no differences in calories between SMA First Infant Milk and SMA Extra Hungry; it is the protein base which changes. SMA First Infant Milk is whey-dominant whereas SMA Extra Hungry is casein-dominant. This means that SMA Extra Hungry stays longer in a baby’s stomach, which means they may feel fuller for longer. They are not actually consuming more calories

Formula fed babies have a greater tendency to produce firmer formed stools compared with breastfed babies. However, this does not mean that a baby is constipated.  Changes in stool patterns can occur when babies are switched from whey-dominant to casein-dominant formulas. This is due to the slower stomach emptying time observed in babies that are fed a casein-dominant formula

True constipation is when stools are very hard, similar to ‘rabbit droppings’ , and are proving very difficult for a baby to pass

SMA Follow-on Milk is specially designed to have a nutritional composition suitable for babies and toddlers aged from 6 months as part of a mixed weaning diet.

As mixed feeding becomes established, solid food becomes an increasingly important source of nourishment. However, nutritional experts also stress the importance of milk in the diet and recommend 500-600 ml (approx. 1 pint) a day until a baby is a year old.

SMA Follow-on Milk is fortified with iron and one pint a day (500-600 ml), given either as a drink or mixed with solids, will provide all of the iron a baby needs, together with a healthy balance of all other essential nutrients. It acts as a nutritional ‘safety net’, which can be especially reassuring for mums if their baby goes through fussy and difficult eating periods.
