Can a stage 1 baby be used after six months of age?

It is completely safe for your baby to continue a2 Platinum® Premium infant formula (stage 1) beyond 6 months, as your baby is starting solid foods. The introduction of solid foods provides additional nutrients that will help meet your baby's nutritional requirements.

If your baby is already decided on a2 Platinum Premium® (Stage 1) infant formula, staying on it may be more beneficial than transitioning to a2 Platinum Premium® (Stage 2) follow-on formula, as many changes are taking place with the introduction of solids, and this may be an aspect that stays the same, allowing you to focus on progressing with the introduction of a variety of solid foods. particularly iron-rich foods.

If you find that your baby shows little interest in solid foods, it may be more beneficial to introduce the a2 Platinum® Premium (Stage 2) follow-on formula, because it contains a higher level of iron.

How long does a2 Platinum Premium® infant formula last?

Once a can of a2 Platinum Premium® infant formula has been opened, it can be safely kept for four weeks if stored in a cool, dry place. Discard any unused formula after four weeks.

To maximize service life:

Keep the spoon in the tin when not in use. You don't need to wash your spoon after brewing a bottle.

If the spoon accidentally gets wet, you will need to wash and dry it thoroughly before placing it back in the can.

Always store a2 Platinum® Premium infant formula in its original can and cover it with the plastic lid to prevent dust contamination.

Do not transfer the powder to another container because this is a high risk of contamination.
