| We have a new video available on our website that explains how the first 1000 days, from conception to the age of 2, can impact on a baby’s long-term health outcomes. Nutrition has a key role to play during the first 1000 days to lay the foundations for an infant’s long-term health; one of the key nutrients is protein. Excessive protein intake during the first 1000 days of a baby’s life can lead to an increased risk of obesity in later life1. Click here to watch our video and learn more about protein and the first 1000 days. |

| SMA® PRO First Infant Milk – Growth comparable to a breastfed baby |
| |
| The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recognise that protein intake in infants is in excess of requirements, and suggests a reduction of protein quantity in infant formula and follow-on formula could be considered2.
|
| |
| SMA® Nutrition uses unique technology to produce an infant milk containing a low quantity, high quality protein, resulting in a protein profile that is closer to that of breast milk3,4. |
|
 |
SMA® PRO First Infant Milk's unique protein profile enables us to have the lowest protein content of all first infant milk in UK & Ireland at 1.25g per 100ml (1.87g per 100 kcal). |
| |
 |
SMA® PRO First Infant Milk is the only First Infant Milk clinically proven to achieve a growth rate comparable with a breastfed baby as defined by WHO growth standards4. |

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and new mothers be informed on the benefits and superiority of breastfeeding – in particular the fact that it provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for babies. Mothers should be given guidance on the preparation for, and maintenance of, lactation, with special emphasis on the importance of a well-balanced diet both during pregnancy and after delivery. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks should be discouraged since it will have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Similarly, mothers should be warned of the difficulty of reversing a decision not to breastfeed. Before advising a mother to use an infant formula, she should be advised of the social and financial implications of her decision: for example, if a baby is exclusively bottle-fed, more than one can (400 g) per week will be needed, so the family circumstances and costs should be kept in mind. Mothers should be reminded that breast milk is not only the best, but also the most economical food for babies. If a decision to use an infant formula is taken, it is important to give instructions on correct preparation methods, emphasising that unboiled water, unsterilised bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness.
