During the second 6 months of life, your baby’s digestive system and kidneys are maturing, but face new challenges from solid foods.

Your baby will be getting more nutrients from solid food, but it is important to remember a weaning baby’s digestive system is still a bit immature and may not fully process all of the new foods. It’s not unusual to find vegetable skins and other undigested food particles in your baby’s stoolduring this time.

Follow-on formula can help to ensure that your baby easily absorbs the nutrients she needs. The fat blend in PROMIL GOLD is proven to be digestible and well absorbed. Its composition also helps babies absorb calcium, as well as vitamins A, D, E, and K. PROMIL GOLD is also fortified with nucleotides—biofactors that help your baby’s intestine develop and absorb nutrients.

It’s also important to remember that even older babies can be vulnerable to dehydration—loss of significant amounts of body water—during fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and hot weather. PROMIL GOLD has appropriate levels of protein and electrolytes—the biofactors that help regulate the body’s balance of fluids. This puts less stress on baby’s kidneys.
