Product Information

We have been leading in baby nutrition research for over 100 years and are proud to introduce our ranges of SMA ® PRO Follow-on and Growing Up Milk, SMA ® ADVANCED Follow-on and Growing Up Milks and LITTLE STEPS ® Follow-on Milk which can be used as part of a varied balanced diet. All have been expertly developed with nature in mind to help support babies’ unique nutritional needs. These contain vitamins A, C and D, as well as iron. SMA Staydown contains a natural corn (maize) starch which helps the feed settle more easily. Unlike the other formulae, SMA Staydown Infant Milk should be made up with chilled water that has been previously boiled. Staydown has a normal consistency in the bottle and will flow through a standard teat. The cows' milk in formula contains 2 types of proteins – whey and casein. First infant formula is based on whey protein which is thought to be easier to digest than other types of formula. Age of Baby: Birth - 2 weeks; Approx.

SMA Staydown is intended to replace breast milk when mothers do not breastfeed and when significant reflux (regurgitation) is a problem. If the baby's reflux does not improve within two weeks of starting SMA Staydown, or if the infant fails to thrive, the family doctor should be consulted.

Infant formula - GPs quick prescribing reference guide

The chemical structure of phytoestrogens is similar to the female hormone oestrogen. Because of this, there are concerns that they could affect a baby's reproductive development, especially in babies who drink only soya-based infant formula.The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and new mothers be informed on the benefits and superiority of breastfeeding – in particular the fact that it provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for babies. Mothers should be given guidance on the preparation for, and maintenance of, lactation, with special emphasis on the importance of a well-balanced diet both during pregnancy and after delivery. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks should be discouraged since it will have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Similarly, mothers should be warned of the difficulty of reversing a decision not to breastfeed. Before advising a mother to use an infant formula, she should be advised of the social and financial implications of her decision: for example, if a baby is exclusively bottle-fed, more than one can (400 g) per week will be needed, so the family circumstances and costs should be kept in mind. Mothers should be reminded that breast milk is not only the best, but also the most economical food for babies. If a decision to use an infant formula is taken, it is important to give instructions on correct preparation methods, emphasising that unboiled water, unsterilised bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness. You may not see a change straightaway so we always allow 2 weeks to see the full effect of the milk. Some babies on these milks will have their symptoms of reflux eased, reflux can be managed on either medication or anti reflux milk. Some babies' symptoms will go completely whilst others will just ease slightly. But as long as your LO is gaining weight and well in themselves then it may be something that we have to wait until their a little bigger to completely resolve. Formula milk, also known as baby formula or infant formula, is usually made from cows' milk that has been treated to make it more suitable for babies. Unless a midwife, health visitor or GP suggests otherwise, first infant formula is the only formula your baby needs. Your baby can stay on it when you start to introduce your baby's first solid foods at around 6 months and they can drink it throughout their first year.
