We also believe that we have a responsibility to share information about our products, and the science behind them, with HCPs. We believe that this should be done in such a way as to minimise and manage any potential conflicts of interest. Approx. Age of Baby: Birth - 6 months; Approx.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and new mothers be informed on the benefits and superiority of breastfeeding – in particular the fact that it provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for babies. Mothers should be given guidance on the preparation for, and maintenance of, lactation, with special emphasis on the importance of a well-balanced diet both during pregnancy and after delivery. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks should be discouraged since it will have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Similarly, mothers should be warned of the difficulty of reversing a decision not to breastfeed. Before advising a mother to use an infant formula, she should be advised of the social and financial implications of her decision: for example, if a baby is exclusively bottle-fed, more than one can (400 g) per week will be needed, so the family circumstances and costs should be kept in mind. Mothers should be reminded that breast milk is not only the best, but also the most economical food for babies. If a decision to use an infant formula is taken, it is important to give instructions on correct preparation methods, emphasising that unboiled water, unsterilised bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness. Boil 1 litre of fresh tap water. Allow boiled water to cool for no more than 30 minutes. Measure the required amount of water (see feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle, carefully - the water is hot. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water. For example, Article 7.5 requires that HCPs disclose to their employer if they are sponsored by formula company to attend a conference. In doing so, it makes it clear that it is not against the Code to accept such sponsorship. Nestlé’s policy on the Sponsorship of Health Workers and Institutions for Professional Development and Scientific Research also requires that HCPs disclose any sponsorship to their employer. EU Regulations set out the criteria for the mandatory nutritional composition of Infant and Follow-on milks. These regulations state that it is not a necessity to add GOS/FOS (non-digestible oligosaccharides) to Infant formula and Follow-on milks, so we have chosen not to in our LITTLE STEPS milks.On specialist/secondary care recommendation only: for cows’ milk protein allergy or intolerance in infants with liver, gastro or cardiac disease Preventing pathogens from binding to the intestinal wall, which reduces their ability to infect the infant 1,3

Approx. Age of Baby: Birth - 3 months; Approx. Weight of Baby: 6.1 kg, 13 1/2 lb; Preparation of Single Feeds: 6 Level scoops, Cooled, Freshly Boiled Water: 180 ml, 6 fl. oz. (approx.); Feeds in 24 Hours: 5 We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies and we fully support the World Health Organization’s recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with continued breastfeeding up to two years of age. Your baby should be able to happily switch from the old formula to the new but if you would like to ease the transition, you might prefer to change over gradually. This may allow your little one time to adjust to the new milk. script>
