Why SMA® Toddler Milk?
SMA® Nutrition has been pioneering infant nutrition since 1919, with 100 years of research helping us to understand the changing nutritional needs of toddlers, our experts craft our toddler milk with care to support toddler's growth and development.
Appropriate growth
- The lowest protein growing up milk in UK & I1-5 – studies suggest that excessive protein in early life is linked with rapid growth and higher risk of later obesity.6-7
- Omega 3&6† and iodine to help support normal growth.
Immunity
- Contains vitamin D which contributes to the normal functioning of baby’s immune system.8
- Contains 2’FL Human Milk Oligosaccharide (HMO*): Research suggests that infants fed an infant formula supplemented with 2’FL HMO* had immune markers closer to breast-fed infants9
2’FL is the most abundant oligosaccharide found in breast milk.10

The first 1,000 days of a baby’s life have a life-long impact on many aspects of future health.
Studies suggest that excessive protein in early life is linked with rapid growth and higher risk of later obesity.8,9
Research shows the importance of providing the right amount of protein in the early diet to help support appropriate growth.6-7,11
SMA® Toddler Milk has a lower protein level of 1g/100ml and is enriched with iron to help support normal cognitive development. Also contains omega 3 and 6† and iodine to help support normal growth.
