Baby formula numbering generally works like this:
Number 0 (starter): From birth, usually until 6 months. Some brands call this "1 number."
Number 1: 0-6 months, basic starter formula.
Number 2 (follow-on): 6-12 months. Contains more iron and protein because your baby's nutritional needs change as you introduce solids.
Number 3 (growth formula / follow-on): 12-36 months. Usually formulated for children 1 year and up.
Number 4: Some brands have this as an additional option for before 2-3 years or earlier.
Important note: Numbering may vary slightly between brands. Some brands start with "0" from birth, others with "1." Reading the age range on the box is more reliable than the number.
Transition: When your baby turns 6 months, you don't have to switch to number 2 right away — some families continue with number 1 until 12 months. If you've started solids and your baby is eating well, transition to number 2 should happen with your pediatrician's recommendation.
