  • 400g tin with a 4.4g scoop.

Do not add any extra powder or water to make feeds stronger or weaker. Using too much or too little powder can make a baby ill. We recommend preparing each feed in individual bottles when required, and feed immediately. If there is any unfinished formula left after feeding, throw it away. Always hold the baby while feeding. Never leave the baby alone during feeding as there is a risk they might choke.

SMA® Althéra® Advance is a food for special medical purposes (FSMP) for the dietary management of infants with mild to moderate cows’ milk allergy. Suitable as a sole source of nutrition from birth or supplementary feeding from 6 months and up to 3 years of age.

We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies as breast milk provides a balanced diet and protection against illness for a baby. We fully support the World Health Organisation’s recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with sustained breastfeeding up to two years of age.

We also recognise that breastfeeding may not be an option due to certain medical conditions. Parents should only feed infant formula for special medical purposes under supervision of a healthcare professional after full consideration of all feeding options, including breastfeeding. Continued use has to be assessed by the healthcare professional in relation to the baby’s progress bearing in mind any social and financial implications for the family.

Infant formula should always be prepared, used and stored as instructed on the label in order to avoid risks to a baby’s health.

SMA® Althera® Advance is a Food for Special Medical Purposes. intended for infants and must be used under medical supervision. For oral/ enteral use only.

Suitable as a sole source of nutrition from birth or supplementary feeding from 6 months and up to 3 years of age.
