SMA Soya Infant Baby Milk Formula, From Birth, 800g (Pack Of 1)

Product Information

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Breast milk is best for babies and breastfeeding should continue for as long as possible. Infant formulae are suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed 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. SMA® Soya milk-free formula is intended to meet the nutritional needs of babies and children who are intolerant to cows' milk protein, lactose or sucrose. SMA® Soya is not recommended for preterm babies, those with kidney problems, or those with suspected or confirmed soya allergy, where medical guidance should always be sought. Pull the safety seal and open the lid. The scoop is provided under the lid. Lift the tab, pull on the foil seal, carefully and safely remove the seal and dispose of it. For toddlers who are not eating a good variety of solid foods, who have low appetite or who are experiencing poor weight gain, these are good options instead of regular soya milk: Approx.

Infants (>6 months to 2 years) with Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy unable to tolerate a first line extensively hydrolysed formula or second line amino acid formula and where the family would usually qualify for Healthy Start vouchers Do not add extra powder or water to make feed stronger or weaker and do not press powder into scoop. Using too much or too little powder can make your baby ill.Breastmilk and formula milk should always be given on demand: every time baby asks for it and as much or as little as he or she wants. Needs are very variable between babies and even in the same baby from day to day; the amounts shown in the table are for guidance only. Amber Level 3- Specialist Initiation with ongoing monitoring requirements (Full Amber Drug Guidance required) Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and immediately shake vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved. Cool bottle under cold running water or in a bowl or jug of cool water until lukewarm, do not immerse the teat. Test temperature by shaking a few drops onto the inside of your wrist. Upon preparation there may be a noticeable foam, this is quite normal. Soya milk continues to be the more nutritious option for most children, due to its higher protein content and because it also provides magnesium, iron, unsaturated fats, and B-vitamins including choline. Unless there is a good reason to avoid soya, it is advisable to offer children soya milk at least part of the time. Fortified soya yoghurts are a good alternative. As with milk, choose those yoghurts that are: 1) calcium fortified; 2) low in sugar (2-2.5g/100g or less) and 3) low in salt (0.1g/100g or less). This table is a guide only; your baby may need more or less than the volumes stated. If you require more advice, consult healthcare professional. Remember to feed your baby on demand. Mix 1 scoop of powder to 30 ml (approx. 1 fl. oz.) of water. Approx. 90 scoops per can. 1 scoop = 4.4 g

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.
