SMA Staydown Formula

SMA Staydown is for babies with significant reflux. It is a special nutritionally complete milk formula with the addition of an easily digestible pre-cooked corn starch.  This helps the feed settle in baby’s tummy so there should be less episodes of sickness, or less feed being brought up.  If there is no improvement after two weeks, you should consult your family doctor.

As SMA Staydown has a precooked corn starch added, it is not possible to make up Staydown with water at 70^oC.  The Department of Health is aware of this. It is recommended that it is made up using strict hygiene conditions,  by practising good handwashing and sterilising techniques, the introduction of bacteria will then be minimised.  It is recommended that if possible each feed is made up individually with refrigerated water when required.

SMA Staydown is available to you at your local pharmacy. If the product is not available on shelf, your pharmacist will be able to order it for you. 

You can take the bottle of water out of the fridge before you go to bed and then add the powder to the water when the baby needs a feed. Feed at room temperature.
