Stage 2 Formula FAQs
Is stage 2 formula necessary if my baby eats solids?
Breast milk or infant formula will continue to be the main source of nutrition for babies when starting solid foods at around 6 months of age. Until 12 months of age, breast milk or an infant formula will be the only suitable milk a baby should drink. From 6 months of age, a stage 2 baby formula, such as NAN OPTIpro 2 is specially designed to help ensure your infant receives balanced, high quality nutrition in addition to their solid food intake.
Can I use stage 2 formula for babies under 6 months?
No, stage 2 formula is not suitable for babies under 6 months of age. Stage 2 baby formula such as NAN OPTIPRO 2 Stage 2 Formula is specifically designed for infants aged 6–12 months, with nutrient levels that support this later stage of infancy when solid foods have been introduced.
What’s the difference between stage 2 formula and toddler milk drinks?
Stage 2 formulas are designed for babies aged 6–12 months to complement the introduction of solid foods. Toddler milk drinks, on the other hand, are specially designed for children from 1 year of age to support their nutritional intake as part of a varied diet when energy and nutrient intakes may not be adequate.
