NAN Pro 2: Feeding Schedule & Nutrition Guide

NAN Pro 2 is a milk-based follow-up formula for infants from 6 to 12 months of age. At this stage, breast milk or formula remains the primary source of nutrition, while first foods are gradually introduced alongside.

The formula is designed to support the higher nutritional demands of older infants, particularly for nutrients like iron and DHA that become especially important as babies become more active and their brains continue to develop. It is not intended as a standalone replacement for breast milk in the first six months and is not appropriate for newborns.

If you are still in the early newborn phase, you may find newborn care essentials beyond feeding a useful starting point as you build your care routine.

NAN Pro infant formula milk stages are grouped by age, with each stage adjusting the nutrient profile to match typical developmental needs. The table below gives a broad overview. Always read the specific pack label for exact figures.
 

NAN Pro 1 vs NAN Pro 2

The main difference between NAN Pro 1 and NAN Pro 2 is the nutrient ratio, not a dramatic change in ingredients. NAN Pro 1 is formulated for newborns through 6 months, when breast milk or infant formula is the only food source. NAN Pro 2 has adjusted levels of iron and other micronutrients to account for the fact that a 6-to-12-month-old is starting solids but still depends heavily on formula for complete nutrition.

Switching from Stage 1 to Stage 2 before 6 months is not recommended without paediatric guidance.

NAN Pro 2 Feeding Chart

The nan pro 2 feeding chart below is a general guide based on age-appropriate volumes. Every baby is different, and your paediatrician's advice always takes priority.
 

The correct ratio printed on your specific pack must always be followed. Never add extra scoops to make the formula more concentrated; this can stress a baby's kidneys and digestive system.

How to Prepare NAN Pro 2 Correctly?

Safe preparation reduces the risk of contamination.

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before starting.
• Boil fresh water and allow it to cool to approximately 40 degrees Celsius, warm but not scalding.
• Pour the correct amount of water into a sterilised bottle first, then add the scoops.
• Use the scoop provided and level it off without pressing down.
• Cap the bottle and swirl gently until fully dissolved. Do not shake vigorously.
• Test the temperature on the inside of your wrist before feeding.
• Discard any formula remaining in the bottle within one hour of starting the feed.
• Never microwave prepared formula; this creates uneven hot spots that can burn a baby's mouth.

Prepared formula that has not been started can be stored in the back of the refrigerator (below 5 degrees Celsius) for no longer than 24 hours. Once feeding begins, use within one hour and discard the rest.

NAN Pro 2 is not suitable for every baby. Do not use this formula if your child has been diagnosed with:

• Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). This formula is milk-based and will trigger an allergic response in affected infants.
• Galactosemia, a rare metabolic condition in which the body cannot process galactose, a sugar present in milk.
• Lactose intolerance that has been confirmed by a doctor. A lactose-free alternative should be used instead.

If your baby shows signs of persistent colic, blood in stools, skin rashes, or unusual vomiting after feeds, stop the formula and consult a paediatrician promptly. These can be signs of a food protein intolerance.

NAN Pro 2 is also not intended for premature infants or babies with specific metabolic disorders without specialist medical advice. This formula does not replace breast milk, which remains the recommended primary nutrition source for all infants where possible.

Report adverse events to your healthcare provider or the relevant regulatory authority.

An open tin of NAN Pro 2 powder should be stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed. Do not refrigerate the dry powder. Most manufacturers recommend using an opened tin within three to four weeks; check the pack for the specific guidance on your product.

For bottle hygiene, sterilise all feeding equipment before each use, especially for babies under 6 months or those with any health vulnerability. Bottle brushes, nipples, and rings can harbour bacteria if not cleaned properly.

If you notice anything unusual about the powder (clumping, off smell, or colour change), do not use it. Contact the retailer or manufacturer.

NAN Pro 2 is a follow-up infant formula intended for babies aged 6 to 12 months who require formula feeding as part of their diet alongside the gradual introduction of complementary foods. Its nutritional composition is designed to meet the changing needs of older infants, but the exact ingredients, nutrient values, preparation instructions, and feeding quantities can vary between products and markets, so parents should always follow the instructions on the specific pack.

There is no single formula that is ideal for every baby. Infants with cow's milk protein allergy, metabolic conditions, prematurity, or other feeding concerns may require specialised nutrition under paediatric supervision. Prepare NAN Pro 2 exactly as directed, maintain proper bottle hygiene, store prepared formula safely, and avoid changing formula stages earlier than recommended. If your baby develops persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, a rash, feeding difficulties, or other concerning symptoms, consult a paediatrician promptly.
