Feeding and Nutrition: A Guide to Baby's Strong Development
Making sure your baby gets all of the nutrients for a strong start is easier than you think.
Key to Strong Bones

No bones about it, the key to developing strong bones is the proper amount of calcium and vitamin D. Did you know that your baby has

about 300 soft, tiny bones? And they will continue to develop until he’s 25 years old? Amazing. And the first year of development is the most important. Similac® Advance® is specially formulated to provide the right amount of key nutrients, and results in over 50% greater calcium absorption than Enfamil®.*
