I can’t find my Nestlé® Good Start® product on shelf/ online/ in-stores. Can I give my baby Stage 2 if they are not yet 6 months?

Yes, all infant formulas designed for healthy term infants for sale in Canada have been approved by Health Canada to meet the nutritional requirements for normal healthy growth for all infants between the ages of 0-12 months.  Some infant formulas, such as Nestlé® Good Start® 2, may have some benefits specifically designed for older babies from 6-12 months, such as slightly higher levels of calcium and iron. The differences in these levels are still appropriate for all babies from 0-12 months. 

 

Nestlé® Good Start® 3 is not an infant formula and should not be used to feed infants.  Nestlé® Good Start® 3 is made specifically for toddlers above 12 months of age and is a nutritional supplement.  Nestlé® Good Start® 3 Plain Milk and Nestlé® Good Start® 3 Vanilla Flavour can be use interchangeably for toddlers in this age group.  If you cannot find Nestlé® Good Start® 3, whole cow’s milk can also be used and is recommended by Canadian Pediatric Society.
