Our Heritage: Similac Through the Generations
For more than 100 years, the makers of Similac have been dedicated to giving
mom and baby a strong start. And in 2008, Similac strengthened
that dedication with their latest innovations.
-
Similac® Advance®: Has our unique blend of prebiotics,
nucleotides, and carotenoids
— nutrients found in breast milk.
-
Similac® SimplePac™: Our mom-friendly
container revolutionized baby formula packaging.
But our story really started at the turn of the last century. 1903 brought about
many great things, including the Wright Brothers' first flight, the
first World Series of baseball, and the Moores and Ross Milk Company.
Two decades later, the Moores and Ross Milk Company developed the first commercial
milk-based baby formula, and Similac was a hit with moms across the country.
Following the success of Similac, the Moores and Ross Milk Company continued
to make advancements in baby formula. In 1964, Ross Laboratories merged
with Abbott Laboratories. And today, the Abbott Nutrition product line includes
hypoallergenic, soy, organic, and sensitive formulas — and more
— to help moms nourish babies no matter what their nutritional needs.
It's no wonder that a company with such a heritage of innovation was the company
to bring moms Similac Advance. Whether they're formula feeding
or supplementing their breast milk, they can be confident knowing that Similac
Advance is designed to be more like breast milk and to help build a
strong immune system.
StrongMoms® — where everything we do is inspired by moms — is brought
to you by Similac. We're walking the walk of motherhood with you.
