SMA Soya Infant Baby Milk Formula, From Birth, 800g (Pack Of 1)

Product Information

Children can drink any calcium-fortified plant milk, except rice milks, which should be delayed until 5 years due to their arsenic content.

Whilst this product is made under strict hygienic conditions, it is not sterile. Failure to follow instructions on preparation and storage may make your baby ill. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and new mothers be informed on the benefits and superiority of breastfeeding – in particular the fact that it provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for babies. Mothers should be given guidance on the preparation for, and maintenance of, lactation, with special emphasis on the importance of a well-balanced diet both during pregnancy and after delivery. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks should be discouraged since it will have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Similarly, mothers should be warned of the difficulty of reversing a decision not to breastfeed. Before advising a mother to use an infant formula, she should be advised of the social and financial implications of her decision: for example, if a baby is exclusively bottle-fed, more than one can (400 g) per week will be needed, so the family circumstances and costs should be kept in mind. Mothers should be reminded that breast milk is not only the best, but also the most economical food for babies. If a decision to use an infant formula is taken, it is important to give instructions on correct preparation methods, emphasising that unboiled water, unsterilised bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness.

Medicines which are appropriate for initiation and ongoing prescribing in both primary and secondary care.SMA Wysoy Soya Infant Formula (From Birth) is not suitable for babies with kidney problems or premature babies, where medical guidance should always be taken. Home made plant milks: Some families prefer to make their own plant milks at home. This can be a good option for adults and children older than 2 years, but it is important to fortify them with calcium. Unfortified plant milks are not a good source of calcium, and it is quite difficult for children to reach their daily calcium requirements without calcium fortified milks or yoghurts. First choice for severe cow's milk protein allergy or when an extensively hydrolysed product (e.g. Althera, Nutramigen, Aptamil Pepti) does not resolve symptoms
