Small with Evolving Needs
The small size of baby’s stomach makes every mouthful of food crucial if he or she is to receive the vital nutrients they need.

Have you ever wondered how our seemingly small stomachs are able to hold all the food we consume, especially at times of big feasts? Surprisingly, an adult’s stomach is merely the size of a tennis ball! Can you even imagine a newborn’s stomach size is comparable with that of a glass marble and grows only gradually throughout childhood until it reaches its adult size.
This is why every mouthful baby consumes really does count and why it is important your baby’s food is packed with all the vital nutrients he or she needs to fuel growth and development.
Very young children are actually quite capable of communicating whether they are still hungry or full, even before they can speak. Babies will often indicate they are full with body language. They will show less interest in food, turn their heads away, close their lips, and even spit food out. On the other hand, they will communicate hunger by reaching out and showing interest in food, fussing and crying.
Obviously, parents still have the most influential role in ensuring baby consumes the right quantity and quality of nutrients to meet their changing nutritional needs when their appetite is small.
The Wyeth BabyNes is an advanced nutrition system with age-targeted capsules made in Switzerland which can be a useful companion to parents with babies up to 36 months.
Its milk powder capsules for babies aged 7 to 12 months take into consideration that baby is beginning to enjoy solid food yet perhaps not eating the quantity and variety to ensure a balanced diet.
This stage contains lipids and essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as AA and DHA to support brain and eye development which is critical during this stage. It also includes vitamins and minerals which might be lacking in baby’s limited solid food diet, particularly iron, calcium, vitamins A, C and D.
The 13 to 24 months and 25 to 36 months stage capsules are designed for the transitional phase when baby is beginning to discover and enjoy a much wider range of “grown-up” food.
At this age, milk remains an important source of the calcium needed for healthy bones but the capsules take into account the increase in baby’s solid food intake and as such contain less protein and fat to adjust for their changing nutritional needs.
They also include Bifidobacterium lactics (BIFIDUS BLTM) which contributes to the development of a healthy gut flora and helps support the immune system which becomes more important at this age when baby has more exposure and interaction with other children and the outside world.
Each BabyNes capsule stage has been carefully formulated to supplement baby’s changing diet and ensure all his or her nutritional needs are met so to support their natural growth rhythm.
With the BabyNes machine, a smooth, precise and hygienic formula feed can be prepared easily at the touch of one button, helping parents to enjoy and participate in the growth of their babies.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Breast milk is the best for babies. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life and continued breastfeeding for as long as possible. As children's growth and development needs vary, health professionals should advise the mother on the appropriate time when her baby should start receiving complementary foods. BabyNes 7-12 months is a follow-on formula for babies aged 7-12 months, formulated for use as a nutritional supplement for the transition to the semi-solid and solid food portion of the older infant’s diet. BabyNes 13-24 months and 25-36 months are growing-up milk specially suited to healthy young children aged 13-24 months and 25-36 months. All are not breast milk substitutes.
