BABY: Supporting growing and exploring with SMA® PRO Follow-on Milk

Growing and exploring the world around us is all part of growing up, with so many things to learn and see. Watching Isabella grow is such a wonderful journey to witness and support, with so many changes happening daily. Like most babies, she's always loved being outside as there are so many new things to see and explore. We have therefore always made a conscious effort to spend family days out, go on walks, visit local parks and play in the garden.

If I think back Isabella did such an incredible amount of growing between 6 and 12 months. She learnt to crawl at around 6 months and then learnt to walk just before she turned 12 months, therefore enabling her to explore independently. Any parent will tell you that as soon as babies start moving there's no stopping them! Whether that be swooshing down the slide, swinging on the swing, climbing on everything they shouldn't be or practising their next skill. It's exhausting yet so rewarding as you see a frustrated baby who wants to move suddenly master the skill and start exploring the huge world around them.

When it comes to parents wanting to support their baby's physical and cognitive development ensuring that they have the right nutrients can be so important. SMA^®PRO Follow-on Milk is for babies that are 6-12 months old and is perfect for supporting their growth and development, alongside a mixed weaning diet. It's SMA^® Nutrition's most advanced follow-on formula yet, with iron, vitamin D and calcium and Omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids, to help build a nutritional foundation for life.   

SMA^® PRO Follow-on Milk is fortified with iron, which helps support normal cognitive development. As well as vitamin D and calcium to help support normal growth and development of bones and Omega 3 & 6.  

SMA^® PRO Follow-on Milk helps to ensure that babies aren't missing out on these important nutrients, as they have a high demand for them when they are so young.

I can't believe how little Isabella seems in these photos from when she was between 6 and 12 months compared to now! I'm so excited to continue the journey of growing and exploring with Isabella and supporting her in all of the ways that I can.

What are your favourite ways to support your babies’ development?
