How does follow-on formula help my baby adjust to a weaning diet?

- during the second 6 mths of life, your baby’s digestive system and kidneys are maturing, but face new challenges from solid foods
- while your weaning baby will be getting more nutrients from solid food, it is important to remember that the baby’s system is still a bit immature

- baby’s system may not fully process all of the new foods
- not unusual to find vegetable skins & other undigested food particles in your baby’s stools during this time
- follow-on formula can help ensure that your baby easily absorbs the necessary nutrients
- nucleotides—nutrients that help your baby’s intestine develop and absorb nutrients

- it’s important to remember that even older babies can be vulnerable to dehydration—loss of significant amounts of body water—during fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, and hot weather
- protein and electrolytes—the elements that help regulate the body’s balance of fluids
- this puts less stress on baby’s kidneys
