Le lait maternel est ce qu'il y a de mieux pour votre bébé.

Santé Canada, la Société canadienne de pédiatrie et les Diététistes du Canada recommandent l'allaitement exclusif pendant les 6 premiers mois puis la poursuite de l'allaitement jusqu’à l'âge de 2 ans ou plus, en association avec des aliments complémentaires appropriés.

Discover our closest formula to breast milk: Similac Pro-Advance®

Similac Pro-Advance® contains 2’-FL; 2’-FL is a unique component of breast milk that helps build baby’s immune system. Parents who fed their babies Similac® with 2’-FL reported 3 TIMES FEWER respiratory infections.1,2§

This non-GMO* formula also contains an exclusive blend of DHA, lutein and natural vitamin E††, making it our most advanced and closest formula to breast milk.

With Similac Pro-Advance®, you can trust that you are giving your baby the nutrients they need to grow.

Immune Support Innovation: 2'-FL

Breast milk contains many protective factors that help build the baby’s immune system. These include complex carbohydrates called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs).3-6

HMOs are the third most abundant component of breast milk (excluding water).7,8

About 70% of the immune system is found in the digestive tract9, so maintaining a favourable environment for good bacteria in the gut can help babies build strong digestive and immune systems.7 HMOs, like 2'-FL, in breast milk can affect the baby's immune system in various ways:7

Nutrition beyond DHA

Because the first year of life is a critical time for your baby’s brain and eye development.

Naturally found in breast milk, DHA, an Omega-3 fat, supports the normal physical development of the baby’s brain and eyes.

DHA is prone to damage from oxidation — this is why breast milk also contains antioxidants, such as lutein and vitamin E, which help protect fats in body tissues, like DHA, from oxidation.

When your baby starts eating foods, she will get DHA from fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and tuna, as well as Omega-3 eggs.

Lutein is an antioxidant found in breast milk and is concentrated in the baby’s brain and eyes. Similac Pro-Advance® contains added lutein.¥

Lutein comes from solid foods like leafy greens, corn, and eggs. So until your baby starts solid foods, she can get lutein from breast milk or Similac Pro-Advance®.¥

Vitamin E is an antioxidant found in breast milk, but not all vitamin E is the same. One of the great things about Similac Pro-Advance® is that it uses natural vitamin E.¶ This is the most abundant type found in breast milk and the infant brain.
You can only get natural vitamin E¶ from foods. Rich food sources include dark leafy greens, eggs, fish, nuts, and seeds.

† Not derived from human milk; identical structure to 2'-FL found in breast milk.

‡ Post-hoc analysis. Doctor-assessed adverse events.

§ RRR-alpha-tocopherol, the most bioactive form of vitamin E.

* Ingredients not genetically engineered.

¶ Similar to other infant formulas.

¥ Excluding inherent sources.
