Newborn formula is suitable from birth and, for non-breastfed infants, can be a sole source of nutrition. A Follow-on formula is to be used from 6 months of age, around which time complementary foods start being introduced into the diet. These formulas are nutritionally adapted to the needs of the growing child.
Our Newborn Formula for 0 – 6 month olds and our Follow-on Formula for 6 to 12 month olds are nutritionally balanced, containing proteins from fresh cow’s milk and other essential nutrients that are age appropriate and meet the strict nutritional requirements identified by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).
If you require further information and for individual advice, please consult your healthcare professional.
Follow the instructions for preparing the bottle as directed on the container.
The feeding guide will give the proportions of the powder required. Incorrect preparation can make your baby very ill so always follow instructions on pack.
Each baby’s nutritional needs and appetite vary from baby to baby and day to day. As a carer you will learn to read the signs your baby makes when he/she is hungry.
If you are unsure about the feeding requirements of your baby, you should check with your health care professional.
Please look at both methods detailed below and choose the one that is best for your family. If you are unable to reliably store your baby’s formula in cool, dry conditions, your baby has health issues or was born prematurely, please consider using the hot water preparation with water no cooler than 70°C.
Preparing formula with hot water
Preparing formula with cooled water
Preparing formula with cooled water (Vietnamese)
The WHO and other many other health advisory bodies advise that best practice is to boil the kettle and allow it to cool for just under half an hour to reach approximately 70°C. You then add the powder to the water and can cool the prepared milk down to feeding temperature quickly by running the bottle under the cold water tap or placing in a jug of cool water.
Please be sure to check that the milk has cooled down to the right temperature before you feed your baby. It should feel just slightly warm on your skin.
We recommend you use the contents of the tin within 4 weeks of opening.
