Closer than ever to breast milk
Similac Advance EarlyShield is the first and only infant formula that has a unique blend of prebiotics, nucleotides and antioxidants — nutrients naturally found in breast milk. Plus, it has DHA and ARA, ingredients shown to help your baby's brain and eyes develop. And Similac Advance EarlyShield is kosher.
Similac Advance EarlyShield is the first and only DHA/ARA formula that has the EarlyShield blend
Because about 70% of the immune system is found in the digestive tract, developing a strong immune system from birth begins with creating a healthy digestive system. Your baby's gut relies on millions of "good bacteria" to support immune development. Special carbohydrates (prebiotics) found in breast milk and Similac Advance EarlyShield help stimulate the growth of these beneficial bacteria which helps support your baby's developing immune system.
No other infant formula has our exclusive blend of prebiotics, nucleotides and antioxidants.

If you choose to feed baby formula from the very beginning, prepare and offer a bottle with 2-3 ounces of formula every 3-4 hours during the first week.
If your baby doesn’t drink all of each bottle, she’s likely telling you she’s full.
Always test the temperature of heated baby formula before feeding by shaking a few drops on your wrist.
Never use a microwave oven to warm formula — this can result in hot spots that can burn your baby.
Discard any formula your baby doesn’t finish within one hour after each feeding begins.
Every baby has her own nutritional needs. The best way to feed your baby is to allow her to take as much baby formula as she wants, but if you’re looking for a guideline, refer to the table below. But remember, these are just averages!
