Similac Classic Infant Formula-Stage 1 400g Refill (upto 6 months)

Similac Stage 1 Infant Formula is a spray-dried milk-based formula specifically created for newborns from birth up to six months of age. Designed to meet the nutritional needs of infants who are not exclusively breastfed, this formula offers a balanced combination of essential nutrients that support healthy growth and development. Fortified with iron and a unique fat blend free from palm olein oil, it helps improve the absorption of calcium and fatty acids, contributing to better digestion and bone health.

The formula includes high-quality ingredients such as whole milk powder, lactose, maltodextrin, whey protein concentrate, and a carefully selected mix of vegetable oils (including soy, coconut, and high oleic sunflower oil). It also contains important compounds like taurine, L-carnitine, potassium citrate, and antioxidants such as mixed tocopherols. Once prepared, it provides a combination of proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats (including mono- and polyunsaturated fats), essential vitamins (A, B-complex, C, D, E, K), and minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, iodine, selenium, and choline. These nutrients work together to support bone strength, immune function, and the development of vital organs.

In addition to supporting physical growth, this formula contains neuro-nutrients such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, choline, folic acid, iron, and iodine—components known to contribute to brain development during infancy. It’s vegetarian-friendly and free from palm olein oil, making it a preferred choice for many parents.

To prepare the formula, mix one level scoop (approximately 4.4 grams) of powder with 30 ml of clean, lukewarm water. For a full litre, use about 128.6 grams of powder. Always follow the exact mixing ratio and consult your pediatrician to determine the right amount based on your baby’s individual needs.

Proper hygiene during preparation is essential. Using too little powder can result in insufficient nutrition, while too much may cause imbalances in hydration. Avoid preparing formula in a microwave due to the risk of burns. This product is to be used only under the guidance of a healthcare professional, who can advise on both the need and correct usage of infant milk substitutes.

Note: Breast milk is the ideal source of nutrition for infants. This formula should only be used when breast milk is not available or as advised by a doctor.
