How does follow-on formula help my baby grow?

- babies grow an average of 10 cm during the second 6 mths of life, and most triple their birth weight by their first birthday
- older infants need 9-12 grams of protein per day to help build new tissues
- weaning diets are often low in protein

- cereals, fruits, and vegetables—typically the first weaning foods offered—contain little protein
- follow-on formula is important for ensuring proper protein nutrition during weaning
- calcium is also critical for help in strengthening older babies’ rapidly growing bones
