LITTLE STEPS® Follow-on Milk

A formula milk containing iron and designed specifically to meet the nutritional needs of babies from 6 months of age as part of a varied weaning diet.

Why LITTLE STEPS® Follow-on Milk?

LITTLE STEPS® Follow-on Milk is tailored for babies from 6 months as part of a varied weaning diet. Contains iron, vitamins A, C & D as well as calcium and omega-3 LCP (DHA).

  • Enriched with iron

    UK & Ireland dietary surveys show that iron can be lacking in infants' diets.1,2 Iron helps to support normal cognitive development.

  • Vitamin D and calcium

    Contains calcium and vitamin D for normal growth and development of bones. Vitamin D also contributes to normal function of the immune system.

  • Enriched with omega-3 LCP (DHA)

    Athough LCPs can be made in the body, infants have a high demand for these nutrients.

The first 1,000 days of a baby’s life have a life-long impact on many aspects of future health.

As babies start to receive complementary foods at about 6 months, it’s important to provide increased levels of these important nutrients to meet infants’ changing requirements at this stage.

LITTLE STEPS® Follow-on Milk helps provide these nutrients.

Halal Certified
