Follow-on formulas

Follow-on formulas are suitable for babies from the sixth month onwards, when they are starting to have a mixed diet with solid foods. Follow-on formulas are composed so that babies receive all the nutrients they need for growth and are perfectly complemented by solid foods. It is available in stage 2 (after the sixth month) and in stage 3 (after the year).

Follow-on formulas are different from infant formulas because they are fortified with different vitamins and minerals, specifically they have a higher iron content. The amount of iron that babies get during pregnancy is slowly depleted after about 4 to 6 months. This is why it is important to provide iron in the form of weaning food. These formulas also contain vitamin D, which is essential for the formation of children's bones.
