NESTLÉ Infant Formulas

When it comes to feeding your baby, breast milk is the ideal choice. Experts recommend exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months of your baby's life, with continued breast-feeding up to 2 years of age and on, or for as long as you can. And we couldn't agree more. But what if you decide to supplement breast-feeding? Or, what if you have difficulties breast-feeding from the start? Well, you're not alone. Many mothers, just like you, decide to introduce Infant Formula at different stages of their baby's life - for a variety of reasons. And Nestlé understands each one. Because at Nestlé, we know nothing is more important than your baby's health and happiness. That's why we offer a range of Infant Formulas to suit your baby's unique nutritional needs - at every stage of his development. So you can continue to give your baby healthy nutrition throughout his growing lifetime.

The best for baby.

You want the best for your baby. And so do we. That's why all Nestlé Infant Formulas are designed to give your baby the best possible start. How?

  • Nestlé Good Start is the only iron-fortified Infant Formula made with 100% whey protein and uses a unique, patented process to partially break down the whey protein into smaller pieces making it easy for your baby to digest.+
  • Nestlé GOOD START is also the only routine Infant Formula that may reduce the possibility of an allergic reaction due to whole proteins. Unlike other Infant Formulas for healthy, full term babies, Nestlé GOOD START does not contain whole (not broken down) milk protein and therefore may reduce the possibility of an allergic reaction due to these proteins.*
  • All Nestlé Infant Formulas are developed according to the nutritional requirements set by Health Canada. So your baby always gets the recommended levels of protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals he needs for optimal growth at every stage.

Giving your baby Nestlé Good Start means giving your baby an Infant Formula that not only provides him with complete nutrition, but also provides you with peace-of-mind. Nestlé Infant Formulas nourish your baby the way every mother wants - with great nutrition, right from the start.**

Growing nutrition for baby.

Every baby is unique. Every smile special. That's why Nestlé offers a range of iron-fortified, Infant Formulas to meet each baby's unique nutritional needs - at every stage.

Nestlé STAGE 1 (Birth +) Infant Formulas are designed to nourish your baby from the moment he's born. Infant Formulas in STAGE 1 help build a foundation of healthy nutrition from which your baby can start growing. As your little one grows, you can continue to nourish him with Nestlé STAGE 2 (6 + months) Infant Formulas. All Infant Formulas in STAGE 2 are specially designed to complement the expanding diet of older babies and are enriched with calcium and iron.

To ensure you and baby always have great nutrition, Nestlé Infant Formulas are available in milk based (Good Start & Follow Up) or soy-based varieties (Alsoy). However you choose to feed your baby is up to you, but you can be sure Nestlé will be with you, with the right nutrition, information and advice every step of the way.

Any questions you have - talk to the people you trust. Ask your doctor, your friend, or the mother beside you. And learn more about feeding your baby and his unique nutritional needs with Nestlé Baby.

When it comes to nourishing your baby, the right start means everything.

NESTLÉ® STAGE 2 | Infant Formulas: Babies 6 months +

Whether your baby is sitting up for the first time or grabbing a toy with only one hand, your amazing 6 month old probably seems ready to try just about anything. So he needs nutrition that can keep up with his every growing move. Nutrients like iron and calcium are now more important then ever. Why? For baby's developing blood cells, iron is a factor in healthy red blood cell formation. It's also important for your baby's rapidly growing brain and crucial to his continued mental development aiding in the prevention of iron deficiency anemia, a condition that can lead to developmental delays***. Calcium is crucial to help your baby build strong, healthy bones and teeth - not to mention one very cute smile.

Nestlé STAGE 2 Infant Formulas are specially designed to complement the expanding diet of older babies and are enriched with calcium and iron, so your baby always gets the right nutrition at the right time - especially during this rapid stage of his growth and development. Nestlé STAGE 2 Infant Formulas are available in milk or soy-based varieties to nourish your baby any way you choose. At 6 months, more adventure means more healthy nutrition. Nestlé STAGE 2 Infant Formulas provide the nutrition your older, growing baby needs for a healthy, happy lifetime.
