Whether you are breastfeeding or using formula, it is important to know that switching to cow's milk before the age of one year can put your baby at risk of developing iron deficiency anemia. Your baby's brain development is most rapid in the first two years of life and iron plays a key role as a nutrient.

A recent study has shown that many older babies aren’t getting the recommended amount of key nutrients necessary for strong growth.

• 26% aren’t getting enough iron (iron is essential for your baby’s brain development).
• 20% aren’t getting enough calcium.
• More than 75% aren’t getting enough vitamin E.


• Similac Go & Grow Step 2 formulas can help provide the essential nutrients your baby needs for continued brain and body development.
• Similac Go & Grow Step 2 formulas also ensure your baby receives appropriate vitamin and mineral levels including iron to help prevent iron deficiency anemia and its potential consequences on mental and motor development, as well as the required amounts and types of fats, proteins and sugars as they continue to grow.

Just 250 mL of Similac Go & Grow has:

• Over 25 vitamins and minerals babies need to help them stay strong and healthy.
• At least 40% of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) for calcium, iron, and vitamin E.
• DHA and ARA—important nutrients for brain and eye development.
