IMPORTANT NOTICE. We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies, and we fully support the World Health Organizations recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with continued breastfeeding up to two years of age. We recommend that parents seek information regarding the advantages of breastfeeding & the importance of starting breastfeeding immediately after birth (within the first hour). A healthy diet is essential to support a healthy pregnancy and to prepare and maintain lactation.

We also recognize that breastfeeding is not always an option for parents, we recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional about how to feed your baby and seek advice on when to introduce complementary feeding.

If you choose not to breastfeed, please remember that such a decision can be difficult to reverse and that the introduction of partial bottle-feeding or complementary food before six months of age will reduce the supply of breast milk and has social, and financial, health, environmental implications.

Introducing partial bottle-feeding or complementary food before six months of age will reduce the supply of breast milk.

Infant formula and complementary foods should always be prepared properly when needed whether manufactured industrially or home-prepared to be used and stored as instructed on the label in order to avoid risks to a baby's health related to hazards of unnecessary or improper use of infant formula & other breast milk substitutes as well as hazards related to inappropriate foods or feeding methods. Parents should speak to healthcare professionals regarding the proper use of cups, spoons, other utensils as well as the risks associated with using pacifiers & artificial teats.

ASCENDA 3+ is not a breast-milk substitute. We recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional about how to feed your baby and seek advice on when to introduce this product.
