Brain and Eye Development: the First Three Years
By the time your baby is 3 years old, his brain will have grown to about 80% of its adult size. DHA and ARA (found in breast milk and Similac® baby formulas) are key ingredients that support IQ, vocabulary development, and visual acuity. Explore How Baby's Brain and Vision Develop >
Strong Bones Begin at Birth
Did you know? Your baby is born with 300 bones in her body. Those bones will keep developing until she's 25 years old. Similac® Advance®*, developed without palm olein oil, provides over 50% greater calcium absorption than Enfamil®†, for strong bones. Find Out More About Strong Bone Development >
