Organic Stage 3 milk: growth continues after 12 months 

12 months, first birthday, first steps, first real mischief. At this age, baby eats a little bit of everything, but still needs a nutritional boost. Stage 3 baby milk (or growth milk) takes over after Stage 2, until around 3 years old, to support this period when their diet is expanding but their specific needs remain real. 

Why use infant milk after 12 months? 

Because the nutritional needs of a growing child are not the same as those of an adult. Regular cow's milk is not sufficient to cover certain key nutrients, particularly iron, essential fatty acids, and certain vitamins (especially vitamin D). Growth milk is formulated to meet these needs, complementing a varied diet. 

In practical terms, it's the milk for the morning bottle, snack, or evening. The one that becomes part of the routine and is shared with cuddles on the sofa. 

Stage 3 milk is also a moment of bonding 

The evening bottle or cup is not just a source of nutrition. It's a routine, a landmark, a time to settle down. Let's not lie, it's also sometimes the final step before baby finally considers going to sleep. Stage 3 milk supports these rituals, without fanfare, but with a formula designed for their age.
