Aptamil 2 Follow On Milk Formula 800g

Aptamil Follow On Milk Formula for Babies from 6 Months

You can provide your baby with nutritionally complete follow-on milk when they reach 6 months of age. This aptamil follow on milk is specifically formulated to support your baby's continued growth and development as part of a mixed diet that includes solid foods.

Follow-on milk differs from first infant milk in its protein and mineral content, designed to complement the changing nutritional needs of babies who are beginning to eat solid foods. You should only introduce follow-on formula once your baby has started weaning and is eating a variety of foods.

How Follow On Formula Supports Your Baby's Development

You will find that follow-on milk contains higher levels of protein, iron, and other minerals compared to first infant milk. These nutrients support your baby's rapid growth during the second half of their first year when their iron stores from birth begin to deplete.

The formula provides essential fatty acids and vitamins that complement the nutrients your baby receives from solid foods. You can use this as part of a balanced weaning diet alongside appropriate first foods and continued breastfeeding if desired.

Suitable for Babies Ready for Mixed Feeding

This follow-on formula is appropriate for babies from 6 months onwards who have begun eating solid foods. You should ensure your baby is developmentally ready for weaning before introducing follow-on milk, as it is not suitable as a sole source of nutrition.

The formula is suitable for babies who:

• Have reached 6 months of age
• Are eating a variety of solid foods
• Can sit up with support and show interest in food
• Have developed the ability to chew and swallow appropriately textured foods

You can find additional nutritional support for your growing family in our baby and toddler collection, which includes various products designed for different stages of infant development.

Nutritionally Complete Follow On Milk Powder

You receive a nutritionally balanced formula that meets the specific requirements for follow-on milk as defined by UK and EU regulations. The 800g tin provides multiple feeds and represents good value for families transitioning their babies to mixed feeding.

The powder format allows you to prepare fresh feeds as needed and provides flexibility in portion sizes as your baby's appetite grows. You can prepare feeds according to the instructions to ensure your baby receives the correct nutritional balance.

Proper Storage and Preparation Guidelines

You should store the unopened tin in a cool, dry place and use within 4 weeks of opening. Always follow the preparation instructions carefully, using the scoop provided and ensuring proper sterilisation of all feeding equipment.

You must use boiled water that has been cooled to approximately 70°C for preparation, and feeds should be used within 2 hours of preparation or discarded. Never reheat prepared feeds or save partially consumed bottles for later use.
