Baby Foods

Follow-on formulas are designed to meet the increasing nutrient needs of bottle-fed babies in the second six months. As your baby grows their iron stores reduce. This means they need to get iron and other nutrients from solid food, as well as from breastfeeding and/or infant formula.

Introducing solids is also important for helping your baby learn to eat, giving him experience of new tastes and textures from a range of foods, developing his teeth and jaws, and building other skills that he’ll need later for language development.

Your baby needs breastmilk and/or infant formula along with solids until at least 12 months of age. If solid food replaces breast milk or infant formula too quickly, babies can miss out on important nutrition.
