Infant formula

In the UK and ROI the Government recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months (26 weeks) of life. Some mothers may choose to combination feed with breast milk and infant formula, whilst others may exclusively bottle-feed. Infant formula is the only recommended alternative for the first 6 months.

Ingredients of infant formula

Infant formula is specially formulated to support the adequate growth of infants under 6 months of age, when infants are not breastfed. Most formulas are based on modified skimmed cows' milk and have been designed to match, as closely as possible, the composition of breast milk.

Appropriate use of milks

Breast milk is recommended for the first 6 months of baby's life. The only alternative to breast milk is infant formula. If you’re using infant formula, after 6 months of age Follow-on Milk can be used to complement the weaning diet. The Department of Health recommends that cows' milk should not be introduced as a drink before 12 months of age.

Important notice

We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies and we fully support the World Health Organization’s recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with continued breastfeeding up to two years of age. We also recognise that breastfeeding is not always an option for parents. We recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional about how to feed your baby and seek advice on when to introduce complementary feeding. If you choose not to breastfeed, please remember that such a decision can be difficult to reverse and has social and financial implications. Introducing partial bottle-feeding will reduce the supply of breast milk. Infant formula should always be prepared, used and stored as instructed on the label in order to avoid risks to a baby’s health. ●SMA® Soya milk-free formula is intended to meet the nutritional needs of babies and children who are intolerant to cows’ milk protein, lactose or sucrose.
