As a mum you make a lot of decisions every day, but choosing a follow-on formula for your baby is one of the most important choices you’ll make.


Breast milk is the best food for babies. But if you’ve made the decision to formula feed or mix feed, you’ll want to ensure your child continues getting the essential nutrients needed for sustained growth.

A nutritionally complete follow-on formula should contain key vitamins and minerals to support healthy development while also satisfying your baby’s growing appetite.


INTRODUCING NOVALAC GOLD STAGE 2
Novalac Gold Stage 2 follow-on formula has been specially designed to meet the dietary needs of babies aged six months and over.

It contains a comprehensive range of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and essential vitamins and minerals, including extra* nutrients for healthy brain and eye development. It’s also gentle on the stomach and easily digested – especially important while baby’s immune and digestive systems are still maturing.

  • Energy nutrients, such as  carbohydrates and fats, to support activity and growth
  • Protein, essential in building body tissue, including muscles and organs
