Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for babies, and breastfeeding should be continued for as long as possible.

Similac Advance Gold Stage 2 is suitable only for babies over six months of age. It must not be used as a substitute for breast milk during the first six months.

From six months, follow-on formula should form only part of a varied diet that includes suitable complementary foods.

Consult a paediatrician, pharmacist or other qualified healthcare professional before introducing or changing the baby’s formula.

The amount and frequency of feeding should be determined according to the baby’s age, weight, appetite, development and individual nutritional requirements.
