Follow on milk is not suitable for babies under six months according to our dept of health and the health professional organisations. It is illegal to market it as such in the UK . Babies before that age have to have standard formula. Follow on is less modified than standard formula and the iron content is comparatively high. I think, too, the sodium is higher. I am not sure if you have the same distinctions in the US, but we are talking about different products. Anna - I'm glad you've told Baby Milk Action. They monitor these violations as you know.
