Follow-on formulae.
Follow-on formulae are recommended as part of the liquid intake of the weaning diet for infants from 6 months on and children aged 12-36 months. The amount of energy and nutrients absorbed by infants from Beikost and milk differs enormously depending on a number of factors and therefore the recommended composition of follow-on formulae varies accordingly. In the future a greater understanding of the nutritional needs of infants and the possibility of choosing between high- or low-protein content formulae may provide infants with a better balanced diet.
