Frequently Asked Questions What is HMO and why does it matter in infant formula? HMO (Human Milk Oligosaccharide) is a natural component of breast milk that feeds beneficial gut bacteria (Bifidobacterium) and supports immune development. 2′-FL HMO in Similac Gold is the most studied and abundant HMO found in breast milk, now scientifically incorporated into infant formula.

Is Similac Gold suitable from birth? Yes — Similac Gold Stage 1 is designed for infants from birth to 6 months. It provides appropriate nutrition for newborns and is a complete substitute for breast milk when breastfeeding is not possible. What is EyeQ Plus? EyeQ Plus is Abbott’s proprietary blend of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), ARA (arachidonic acid), and lutein — essential fatty acids and carotenoids that support brain development and healthy visual acuity in infants.

Why does Similac Gold not contain palm olein oil? Palm olein oil can form insoluble soaps with calcium in the gut, reducing calcium absorption and potentially causing harder stools. Similac Gold uses a different fat blend for better calcium absorption and softer stools.

Can I mix Similac Gold Stage 1 with breast milk? Yes, supplementary feeding with formula alongside breast milk is common and safe. Always follow your paediatrician’s guidance on feeding volumes and frequency for your individual baby. Disclaimer: Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for infants.

This formula should be used under medical supervision when breastfeeding is not possible. Always prepare formula according to instructions. Consult your paediatrician for individualised infant feeding advice.
