Baby formula numbers?

Formula numbers indicate that the content of the formula changes according to your baby's age. Number 1 (starter) is from birth, Number 2 (follow-on) is generally from 6 months, and Number 3 is recommended from 12 months onwards. The basic difference is that in Number 2 and 3 formulas, the amount of iron and some vitamins increases, and the protein ratio is slightly higher — but these are adjusted so they don't add extra burden to your baby's kidneys. Number 2 is not mandatory for babies transitioning to solids; many babies can continue with Number 1 until 12 months. It's best to determine which formula is most suitable for your baby's age and needs together with your pediatrician.
