SMA Advanced First Infant Milk From Birth SMA Advanced First Infant Milk From Birth

Breast milk is best for babies and breastfeeding should continue for as long as possible. Infant milks are suitable from birth when babies are not breastfeed and should only be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist, or other professionals responsible for maternal and child care. Do not add extra powder or water to make the feeds stronger or weaker and do not press powder into scoop. Using too much or too little powder can make your baby ill. It is recommended that you prepare each feed in individual bottles when required. For hygienic reasons, discard unfinished feed in the bottle as soon as possible. For older babies, made-up formula can be added to food. Do not alter or add to formula unless medically directed. Do not warm feeds in a microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding. Remember, cows' milk should not be used as a drink during the first year.
