SMA Staydown Formula

For babies with significant reflux and for babies who bring back their feed

Q1: What is Staydown for?

SMA Staydown is for babies with significant reflux. It is a special nutritionally complete milk formula with the addition of an easily digestible pre-cooked corn starch.  This helps the feed settle in baby’s stomach so there should be fewer episodes of regurgitation, or less feed being brought up

Q2: Why do you have to use chilled water; what about the 70 degree rule?

As SMA Staydown has a precooked corn starch added, it is not possible to make up Staydown with water at 70°C.  The Department of Health is aware of this. It is recommended that it is made up using strict hygiene conditions, by practising good handwashing and sterilising techniques, the introduction of bacteria will then be minimised.  It is recommended that if possible each feed is made up individually with refrigerated water when required.
