Nowadays, most babies need to eat formula after birth. The nutritional components in formula are designed and manufactured according to the different ages of the baby, which can meet the best needs of the baby's physical development. Baby formula can be divided into three stages, and babies at different time periods need to eat formula that suits them. So, is it okay to consume the second stage milk powder for 14 months?
Mothers will switch from second stage formula to third stage formula when their babies are 12 months old, which means that second stage formula is only suitable for babies aged 6-12 months, and babies over 12 months old need to switch to third stage formula. But some mothers see that the second stage milk powder has not been finished yet and hope that their babies can switch to the third stage after finishing the second stage milk powder. Therefore, many mothers still give their babies second stage milk powder at 14 months old.
Second stage milk powder is not impossible to eat at 14 months old, but it is definitely not as effective as Sanlu milk powder. If you give your baby second stage milk powder at 14 months old, you need to pay special attention to the nutritional composition of complementary foods and ensure the baby's nutritional supply.
In fact, if the baby's second stage milk powder has not been consumed by 12 months, it is best to switch to third stage milk powder for the baby's health. Parents can eat the remaining second stage milk powder. If they do not want to eat it, they can give it to others. It is best to eat the most suitable milk powder for the baby at the appropriate age.
