At 6 months of age, a standard iron-fortified, cow's milk-based infant formula is generally recommended. This type of formula provides the essential nutrients your baby needs for healthy growth. While 'Stage 2' or 'follow-on' formulas are available for infants over 6 months, standard Stage 1 infant formula is perfectly safe and nutritious to continue using until their first birthday. If your baby has specific needs, such as a cow's milk protein allergy, hypoallergenic (extensively hydrolysed) formulas are options. Please consult your paediatrician before starting or changing any formula to ensure it is the best fit for your baby's unique developmental needs.
