SMA First Infant Milk – from Birth (Formerly SMA Gold)

Best Infant Milk 

When baby is not being breastfed or to combination feed.

 

Breast milk is best for your baby, but if you can’t or choose not to breast feed, we recommend you use SMA First Infant Milk. SMA First Infant Milk differs from other infant formulas in the high quality of its protein. Protein is essential for the healthy growth and development of your baby.

Updated in line with latest medical opinion. New 2009 Growth Charts based on the growth of breastfed babies highlights the need for formula to try and replicate that.

 

Young babies grow very fast in the first 6 months of life, doubling their birth weight, so getting the right amount of protein is essential.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  Breastfeeding is best for babies. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. Introducing partial bottle-feeding may have a negative effect on breastfeeding and reversing a decision not to breastfeed is difficult. You should always seek the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist on the need for and proper method of use of infant milks and on all matters of infant feeding.  Social and financial implications should be considered when selecting a method of infant feeding. Infant milk should always be prepared and used as directed. Inappropriate foods or feeding methods, or improper use of infant formula, may present a health hazard.
