Supporting formula-fed infants
Supporting formula-fed infants
If parents are using formula milk to feed their baby, a formula milk that has a protein profile closer to breast milk helps to support healthy growth.15 The amino acid profile of breast milk is the best estimate of an infant’s amino acid requirements. There are four amino acids that, when supplied in excess, have been shown to increase the release of insulin. This can cause a cascade of reactions in the body, which may result in faster growth.16
Combining the practical elements of responsive feeding10 with a formula clinically proven to result in a growth rate comparable to a breastfed baby15 may help give formula fed infants the best chance for healthy growth and the associated lifelong benefits.
SMA® PRO First Infant Milk
Specially designed to help support appropriate growth17
- Clinically proven to achieve growth rate comparable with a breastfed baby17
- Contains closer amino acid profile to that of breast milk which is thought to help support appropriate growth
- Contains calcium and vitamin D for normal growth and development of bone in children.
NOW CONTAINS 2’FL:
- 2’FL is the most abundant oligosaccharide found in human milk. Research suggests that infants fed a formula supplemented with human milk oligosaccharide 2’FL had immune markers closer to breast-fed infants.18
