Gerber Good Start GentlePro 2 Powder Infant Formula
Modeled after the changing protein levels in breastmilk for babies 6-12 months
At 6 months, your baby is starting to interact more and is transitioning to a diet that includes solid foods. Remember that breastmilk and/or formula should remain a major part of your baby’s diet to help meet their changing nutritional needs. That’s why we modeled Gerber® Good Start® GentlePro 2 after breastmilk and added 2’-FL HMO* (Human Milk Oligosaccharides).
