Follow-on milk indicated from 6 months onwards, formulated to promote digestion and meet the nutritional needs of the infant within a complementary feeding.
Follow-on milk powder designed for infants from six months of age and intended to supplement their diet during the weaning stage. The formula incorporates components that replicate some attributes of breast milk, with the aim of supporting immune function, bone development, and cognitive and visual development as part of a varied infant diet.
The formula combines lactose as the main carbohydrate with an oligosaccharide matrix similar to the HMOs found in breast milk, which promotes intestinal colonization by beneficial bacteria. The protein fraction incorporates whey proteins enriched with alpha-lactalbumin and MFGM (fat globule membrane) fractions, providing bioactive proteins with a profile closer to that of breast milk. The lipid fraction includes high-oleic vegetable oils and fish oil as a source of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), necessary for visual development; its contribution to normal visual function up to 12 months depends on sufficient DHA intake (above 100 mg daily, according to available evidence).
The vitamin and mineral profile covers nutrients involved in immune function (vitamins A, C, D, E, B6, B12, folic acid, iron, zinc, and selenium) and bone growth (vitamin D and calcium). The formula also contains additional functional components such as taurine, nucleotides, inositol, L-carnitine, and an antioxidant blend (tocopherols and ascorbyl palmitate). Probiotic strains (Bifidobacterium infantis IM1 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus) are also included to contribute to a balanced gut microbiota.
It is presented as an option among infant formulas intended for use within the context of the baby's world and diversified infant feeding. It should not replace breastfeeding during the first six months; the decision to introduce this follow-on formula and the progression of complementary feeding should be made by the pediatrician or healthcare professional. In cases of coexisting breastfeeding, its use should be evaluated following the guidance of a healthcare professional and as part of a feeding plan that prioritizes breast milk when appropriate.
The formula makes it easy to prepare standardized bottles and can be incorporated into milk recipes adapted to the needs of infants from 6 months onwards (porridges and soft preparations), provided that the introduction of new foods is done gradually and under supervision. Blemil 2 Plus Forte offers a composition focused on digestion, immune support, and growth and development, designed to accompany the transition to solid foods in the infant's diet.

- Immune protection with a complex of vitamins and minerals that contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system.
- Support for bone growth through vitamin D and adequate mineral intake.
- Contribution to cognitive and visual development thanks to iron and DHA (effect dependent on adequate DHA intake).
- Composition closer to breast milk through MFGM, alpha-lactalbumin and HMOs, which promote a balanced intestinal microbiota.
- Inclusion of probiotics (B. infantis IM1 and L. rhamnosus) and functional components (taurine, nucleotides, L-carnitine).
- Formulated to be integrated into infant feeding from 6 months as part of a diversified diet.
From what age is this formula recommended?
Suitable for infants from the sixth month of life as follow-on milk to complement the diversified diet.
Can it be used while breastfeeding?
It can be used concurrently with breastfeeding, provided it is deemed appropriate and supervised by a pediatrician or healthcare professional. It should not replace breast milk during the first six months.
What are the main functional components?
It includes HMOs (human milk-like oligosaccharides), MFGM, alpha-lactalbumin, DHA, probiotics (B. infantis IM1, L. rhamnosus), essential vitamins and minerals.
Does it provide enough DHA for visual development?
DHA contributes to normal visual development up to 12 months when intake is above 100 mg daily; the total contribution will depend on the dose administered and the infant's overall diet.
How does it aid digestion?
The combination of HMOs, bioactive proteins and probiotics promotes colonization by beneficial intestinal flora, which can result in more stable digestion in infant feeding.
