follow-up
formula
for
6-12 months
Fabimilk nutrition
2 is a closely controlled high tech
product.
All
products are in conformity with EU regulations.
Fabimilk
nutrition
2 is a follow-up formula for babies of 6 months
onwards. It contains all vitamins and minerals known to be
essential for their healthy development, taking into account the
increased iron requirement of babies of this age, whose diet will
include the gradual introduction of solid foods.
Fabimilk nutrition
2 is strengthened with the full range of vitamins
and minerals including iron to provide a balanced diet.
To ensure adequate calcium
intake for 6-12 month old babies, 500ml milk should be consumed
each day. This quantity of Fabimilk nutrition
2
meets the child’s calcium requirement but due to
its adapted formula has none of the disadvantages of cow’s milk,
which are:
 |
protein
content too high for easy digestion |
|
high
saturated fat level, low in essential fatty acids
|
|
high
electrolyte level/increased renal solute load
|
|
lack of iron
|
|
deficiency
in vitamins D, E and C
|
Energy
From the age of 6 to 12 months the recommended fat intake of 50%
total energy should gradually decrease to 35%.
The protein content of
a mixed diet should be between 10 to15%.
In
Fabimilk nutrition
2 the fat blend
of vegetable origin provides sufficient intake of essential
polyunsaturated acids including linoleic acid to assist tissue
formation and good brain and eye development. To avoid the risk of
excessive fat intake in a mixed diet the formula’s level of fat
has been especially adapted.
Protein
The
ratio of whey/casein in Fabimilk nutrition
2 is similar to that in cow’s milk and stimulates
digestion.
Carbohydrates
Fabimilk
nutrition 2
contains
lactose and maltodextrins, easily digestible carbohydrates.
Vitamins
and Minerals
Fabimilk
nutrition 2
is
strengthened with all vitamins and minerals needed for the
development of 6-12 month old babies.
Vitamins D, E and C ensure bone mineralisation, eye and
brain development and antioxidant protection.
Fabimilk
nutrition 2
with
its range of minerals, calcium and iron content assists physical
and mental development.
Iron
During
the first six months of life the infant’s iron requirements are
met by breast or formula milk together with stores of iron in its
body. From 6 months onwards increased iron intake is required and
cow’s milk alone is not able to supply this.
Fabimilk
nutrition 2
has
higher iron content than cow’s milk and the high vitamin C
content in the formula also increases iron absorption.
