General Informarion
Choosing how to feed your baby is an important decision. The information in this website should never replace the advice you receive from a qualified healthcare professional. Although breast milk is best, if you choose to bottle feed your baby you can be assured that all Karicare infant formulas are nutritionally complete and will provide your baby with all the essential nutrients required for healthy growth and development.

Eating a balanced, healthy and nutritious diet is important for you when breastfeeding. If considering not to breastfeed, either partially or completely, it is important to note that partial breastfeeding can reduce breast milk supply and that it may be difficult to recommence breastfeeding should you change your mind. Because the proper use of an infant formula is important for the health of your baby, infant milk formula should be used and prepared as directed.

When you introduce formula your breast-milk supply will be reduced, it can be difficult to re-establish a good supply. You may breastfeed and formula-feed at the same time. Breastfeeding for as long as possible immediately before the formula-feed will ensure your baby continues to gain all the benefits of breast-milk and your milk supply is not rapidly reduced.

Gold+ Follow - On (6 -12 months)
Karicare Gold Plus Follow-On Formula is suitable from 6 months and is designed for the increasing nutritional requirements of growing infants. It has a unique formulation of special ingredients, including Nutricia Prebiotics. These nutritionally support your child’s digestive and immune systems. It includes ingredients important for healthy eye, brain and nerve development.

At 6 months of age, the iron stores that your baby was born with begin to deplete. So it's important to ensure that your baby's diet contains foods with all the iron, vitamins and other minerals that they need in this new growth phase. Your baby's digestive system and kidneys are more developed and able to handle a formula with increased nutrients. At the same time as beginning to eat solid foods, your baby will be ready to step up to a follow-on formula.

While breast milk is best, Karicare Follow-On Formulas are nutritionally complete and have been designed to meet the dietary needs of bottle-fed babies from 6 months of age. Karicare Follow-On Formulas contain more calcium, iron and protein than infant formulas to meet the growing needs of your toddler.

Ingredients:
Milk solids (Skim milk, Demineralised whey, Whey Lactose, Whey protein concentrate), Vegetable oils (contains Soy oil), Galacto-oligosaccharides (from milk, GOS), Glucose syrup solids, Fructo-oligosaccharides (Long chain, FOS), Dried Omega 3 & Omega 6 LCO oils [Arachidonic acid oil, Fish oil (Tuna), Antioxidants (Sodium ascorbate, Ascorbyl palmitate, mixed natural tocopherols)], Soy lecithin, Acidity regulator (Citric acid &/or Calcium hydroxide), Taurine, Choline.

Gold + Toddler Milk (1-3 years)
Karicare Gold Plus Toddler Milk 1 to 3 years, is designed to supplement the nutritional demands of growing toddlers. It contains a unique blend of ingredients including Nutricia Prebiotics, which nutritionally support your toddler’s digestive and natural immune systems. It also contains fish oil as a source of Omega 3 DHA that promotes healthy eye, brain and nerve development.

Milk is an important food for toddlers and preschoolers. It supplies protein and calcium and is a rich source of other essential nutrients like zinc and vitamins A and B. Standard cows' milk, however, contains only traces of iron and very little Vitamin C. Research has shown 1 in 3 Australian toddlers to be iron deficient and around 24% of New Zealand's toddlers to be the same. Too little iron can lead to tiredness and irritability as well as lowered resistance to infection and reduced concentration and learning ability.

A deficiency in iron can have a profound effect on learning later in life.
A recent study found that some forms of iron deficiency can last into teenage years. Compared with those that suffered childhood iron deficiency, teenagers with good iron status scored better in cognitive tests such as memory, vision, problem solving and intelligence.²

Karicare Toddler and Toddler Gold Milks contain all the nutrients of standard cows' milk plus additional iron, Vitamin C and fibre. Including them in your toddler's diet will ensure they get the nutrients they need to grow and remain healthy
