Breast is best
Breast milk is the best milk for babies. Breast milk provides the ideal balanced nutrition and protection for your baby. Maternal nutritional requirements increase during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Therefore mothers’ diets should include a wide variety of nutritious food and healthy snacks.
If you are considering bottle feeding, always seek professional advice as once bottle feeding has commenced it can be difficult to revert to breast feeding. Partial bottle feeding may also adversely affect breastfeeding by reducing the supply of breast milk. Always use and prepare infant formula as directed by the manufacturer; unnecessary or improper use of infant formula can be hazardous to the health of your baby.
Before using infant formula, always consider the social and financial implications, such as issues of convenience and cost to the household of using infant formula for at least 12 months. If you are considering using infant formula, it is important to discuss this with a health professional.

About Digesti Plus
What is unique about Heinz® Nurture Gold® with Digesti Plus®?
Heinz® Nurture Gold® with Digesti Plus® is the only infant formula and toddler milk drink in Australia* containing both prebiotics and probiotics.
What is Digesti Plus®?
Digesti Plus® is a unique blend of ingredients including both prebiotics and probiotics scientifically formulated to support healthy digestion in infants and toddlers.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are the friendly bacterial cultures which encourage healthy digestion and may assist the body’s natural defenses. Heinz® Nurture Gold® Infant Formula & Follow On Formula contain the laboratory tested culture Bifidobacterium lactis. Heinz Nurture Gold Toddler® Milk Drink also contains Lactobacillus acidophilus.
How do prebiotics help?
The importance of prebiotics is that they resist digestion and make it all the way through the gut, where they can boost the growth of probiotics by providing them with nourishment.
The prebiotic ingredient in Heinz® Nurture Gold® is Galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS), a non-digestible carbohydrate and derived from lactose that may assist in digestion as well as ‘feeding’ the probiotics.
