Formula Feeding and Nutrition A Nutritious Option for Your Baby

At some point during baby's first year, you may decide it's time for formula feeding. Similac® Advance® has EarlyShield® to help give your baby a strong start. Explore how it helps:

  • Support a strong immune system
  • Promote brain and eye development
  • Build strong bones

EarlyShield® for Immune Support


Similac Advance is designed to be more like breast milk and to help support your baby's developing immune system. Only EarlyShield has our exclusive blend of immune-supporting nucleotides — and prebiotics and carotenoids, nutrients naturally found in breast milk. Learn More About EarlyShield >

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 >

*Before the addition of DHA, ARA, prebiotics and carotenoids
