Feeding guide

12 months to 3 years

1 serving = 200 ml	Amount of cooled, freshly boiled water		Number of scoops of powder
	ml	fl. oz. (approx.)
1 beaker	180	6	6

6 scoops of powder added to 180 ml (6 fl. oz. approx.) water makes 200 ml (7 fl. oz. approx.) milk drink. All toddlers have different nutritional needs, but after 12 months we recommend your child has around 400 ml of milk per day. You can feed your child up to 3 servings per day depending on their nutritional needs. Mix 1 scoop of powder to 30 ml (approx. 1 fl. oz.) of water. Approx. 173 scoops per can. 1 scoop = 4.6 g. Approx. 28 x 200ml servings per can.

Important feeding information

Do not add extra powder or water to make the drinks stronger or weaker and do not press powder into scoop. Using too much or too little powder can make your toddler ill.
We recommend preparing each milk drink in individual beakers when required.
For hygienic reasons, discard unfinished feed in the beaker as soon as possible.

Made-up milk drink can be poured over cereals and mixed with food.
Do not alter or add to milk drink unless medically directed.
Do not warm feeds in microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding.

SMA PRO Growing Up Milk Powder is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 242.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bexst from Sma toddler next generation of milk SMA is a great brand and product. I am very excited to tell people about toddler milk and spread the word to get others using this follow on milk. My little boy loves his milk and was happy with the powder formula or straight from the carton. I found the straw provided woth the cartons very handy when out and about. I gave vouchers to close family and friends who are wanting to try the product too. In my opinion the formula can be expensive vs normal cows milk but i do think it helps with thier development so i am very willing to give my son this product until he is 3. All in all a fantastic product that has gone down very well with my son.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Fengirl from A success We started trying the toddler milk about two weeks ago and I was initially wary of how my daughter would take it. She has just turned one and up until now I've tried mostly another brand of follow on formula. It was a great relief that she didn't blink an eye at the new formula. I do like tins of formula rather than boxes or bags but I do find it annoying that there's no levelling spoon. As a parent of a just turned one year old I know that cows milk can be given but sometimes carting around cows milk just doesn't work if you're always out and about. I'll be sticking with this for a bit longer and have already stocked up for Xmas and the new year

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dani1993 from Changed from another brand and won’t look back ! We had previously used a different type but when the opportunity arose to try this we thought why not ? Love that you can be assured that your little one is getting the vitamins and nutrients that they need , the on the go cartons are so handy too we’ve bought lots more to keep in the changing bag ! He took to this milk straight away and we won’t be changing back . A friend of mine wanted to change her daughter recently onto toddler milk so I suggested trying this and her daughter is loving it , it’s a difficult choice to make when changing from pre 12 months milk and all the information provided By SMA made that choice really easy !

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Was a success at settling toddler for the night! We were asked to trial and review Sma pro toddler milk with our 20 month old son. I’ve always used toddler milks as I feel that toddlers need the extra nutrients for longer than the standard year of age. Now as soon as our box arrived my son was straight into the ready made cartons waiting for his straw to be added and he gulped that right back- he’d have drink the rest there and then had I let him! So every night before bed we made him up a bottle of sma pro as his last drink which did an amazing job as successfully settling him for the night! I would definitely recommend Sam pro toddler for that extra touch for a filled baby settling for the night.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ladymoet from Milky power I have to say I was very skeptical of the powder as my little one is very fussy. I gave it and absolutely loved it to the point kept on pointing to it so that was a good sign I also took it to toodler group so other parents could samole it for their little ones and they too said that they are going to purchase it as their little one lovwd the powder and wanted it the next day with out any tantrum so all in all highly recommended as it gives them the nutrition they need as they are on solids and can be fussy as that stage what they put in their mouths knowing that SMA toodler milk has the nutrition reassures me as a parent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sal78664 from Good for toddler's I was given this milk to try out for my 1 year old from the InsidersUk, i must say im really pleased with the result. My boy is breastfed from birth and wouldnt take any formula at all or cows milk so i was really worried he wont have any milk once i stop breastfeeding. He enjoyed the little cartons with the straw and he took to it really well. I was thibking he may not like the powder formula but he was fine, now i dont need to worry about him not getting nutrients and vitamins he needs at his age once i stop breastfeeding! I have already purchased 2 more tubs for him and will continue to do so! Thank you

Rated 5 out of 5 by jmackerness from So easy with the bottle dispensers, and best value My daughter is 21 months and still drinks milk in the morning and before bed, having had formula milk from the day she came home from hospital. We found that the powder is really easy to use if you put it in the dispensers some bottle companies make and can be stored in the bottle - you just scoop it in the dispenser ready to top up with boiling water (and a dash of cold). We also found the small tin provided for this sample great for packing in a suitcase for a weekend rather than the much larger full size tin you get in the supermarket. Overall, pleased that the milk has been adapted so that the vitamins and minerals are suitable for the age of a toddler (rather than a newborn), and a very happy child too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rareviolet from Fabtastic! My 1 year old is absolutely LOVING his SMA PRO milk! Years ago I tried follow-on milk with my eldest, but he never took to it, but my youngest is definitely enjoying it! He looks forward to his morning milk with his breakfast and it makes this mummy very happy knowing that the milk is nutritious and good for him. The milk powder cans are fantastic to keep in the cupboard and super easy to prepare. I also like to use it as a back-up for when our ready-made SMA toddler milk cartons have run out - we have the powder available in the cupboard at all times and therefore are always covered. Overall a very delicious and nutritious follow-on milk containing all the necessary ingredients for little growing toddlers!
