Babies grow an average of 10 cm during the second 6 months of life, and most triple their birth weight by their first birthday.

Older babies need 9-12 grams of protein every day to help build new tissues. Yet, weaning diets are may be low in protein. Cereals, fruits, and vegetables—typically the first weaning foods offered—contain little protein.

Experts agree that follow-on formula is beneficial for ensuring proper protein nutrition during weaning. PROMIL GOLD meets at least 100% of the older infant’s protein needs when fed as recommended. Plus, the complete protein in PROMIL GOLD, which contains whey and provides all of the essential amino acids your baby needs in the right proportions—is exceptionally tolerated because it's rich in alpha-lactalbumin (alpha-protein).

Calcium is also critical to help strengthen older babies’ rapidly growing bones. PROMIL GOLD easily satisfies your baby’s calcium needs when fed as recommended. It has a biofactors blend that helps ensure that your baby absorbs calcium, since it has the right amounts of vitamin D and the mineral phosphorus. PROMIL GOLD is also low in saturated fat, which can hinder calcium absorption.
