S-26 Gold 1 is a 400 g starter infant formula for birth to 6 months when breastfeeding is not possible or insufficient and a healthcare professional recommends formula feeding.

Why it is used:
Designed to be nutritionally complete for the stated age when prepared exactly as directed; breastfeeding remains the preferred option whenever possible.

Ingredients and components:
Cow's-milk-based infant formula with lactose/other carbohydrates, vegetable oils, whey/milk proteins, vitamins and minerals; DHA/ARA, nucleotides and prebiotic ingredients can differ by country. Contains milk and may contain soy and fish-derived ingredients. Verify the exact current 400 g tin before listing the full formula.

How to use:
Prepare each feed immediately before use. Wash hands, sterilise bottle/teat, boil safe water and cool as the tin states. Measure water first and add only the exact number of level enclosed scoops. Mix, check temperature, feed promptly and discard leftovers. Never change the ratio or use a microwave.

Potential side effects and precautions:
Possible gas, stool changes or cow's-milk protein allergy. Powder is not sterile, and incorrect preparation can cause serious infection, dehydration or under-/over-nutrition. Urgent care is needed for breathing difficulty, swelling, persistent vomiting/diarrhoea, fever in a young infant, poor feeding or unusual sleepiness.

Disclaimer:
Breast milk is the best food for infants. Use formula only for the stated age and under healthcare guidance. Powdered formula is not sterile; the current tin's feeding table, scoop, allergen list, batch and local safety notices are the controlling references.
