Although older babies may seem to spend a lot of time doing simple activities, they are actually working hard to develop their thinking skills. Even shaking, banging, and repeatedly dropping objects are a way of learning the concept of “cause and effect.”

Good nutrition is important to fuel your baby’s brain growth. For a long time, scientists have known that iron is critical to babies’ mental development. Scientists are also learning that the nutrients AA and DHA can help brain development. In fact, studies have shown that babies fed formula with AA and DHA have better problem-solving skills than babies fed standard formula.

Unfortunately, the iron in fortified weaning foods can be poorly absorbed, and most weaning foods are also poor sources of AA and DHA. Follow-on formulas can be the best way to ensure that your baby gets adequate iron, AA, and DHA.

PROMIL GOLD is formulated for optimum iron uptake with an iron source that is easily absorbed by the body. PROMIL GOLD is also fortified with the biofactor vitamin C, which helps enhance iron absorption. And PROMIL GOLD is fortified with appropriate levels of AA and DHA to support mental development.
