Even once the baby starts weaning, milk will continue to be their main source of nourishment. Aptamil Follow On milk complements their weaning diet by providing the nutrients your baby needs in a smaller volume of milk, leaving room in their tummy for their first solids.

From around 6 months of age, your baby’s nutritional needs increase. For example, by the time they’re 7 months old, your baby will need almost the same amount of iron, per day as a 30 year old man!
