Lactogen Nestle Follow-Up Formula Powder, Stage 3, 400G (After 12 Months), Infant

Who it's for

Choose this follow-up formula for babies after 12 months and up to 18 months when breastfeeding is not part of feeding. The powder format and 400 g bag-in-box pack make it relevant for parents moving beyond earlier infant stages and looking for a formula suited to the second year.

Use this category when a baby needs a milk-based follow-up feed rather than a newborn formula. Safety guidance also notes that infant food should be used on the advice of a health worker.

What it's made of

Look for whey protein, iron, and vitamins A and C as the main nutritional callouts. Whey is highlighted as a milk protein fraction that is easy to digest, while iron is included for normal cognitive development and vitamins A and C contribute to normal immune system function.

Check the ingredient list for milk solids, maltodextrin, demineralised whey, vegetable oils, minerals, and vitamins. Milk and soy are both declared allergens, which matters for families avoiding either ingredient.

What buyers say

Expect strong feedback on quality, nutritional value, and health support from shoppers. Review summaries repeatedly describe the formula as good quality and good value, and parents mention nutritional support for growing toddlers, with some saying their child takes it well.

Note that feedback is not completely uniform. A smaller group of buyers reports contamination concerns in some packs, so product condition is something cautious parents may want to check when opening a new box.

Good to know

Prepare each feed one at a time with washed hands, boiled utensils, and previously boiled water that has cooled. The directions call for the exact amount of water and the exact number of leveled scoops for the baby's age, followed by thorough mixing.

Feed the prepared formula immediately and discard leftovers instead of keeping unfinished feed. Safety notes also warn against leaving a baby unattended during feeding and state that milk substitute should not be the sole source of nourishment.
