whats the advantage of moving up a stage?

my LO is on sma gold and it says up to 12 months but the sma progress says from 6 months

i was wondering the same thing the other day as my lo is 5 months. he is on aptimil hungry baby dom i keep him on that til 12 months or change to follow on? xxx

i personally dont know a difference apart from the cost! the government arent allowed to promote first formula milks in any way therefore the shops are not allowed to do special offers on them or bogofs or anything. that it too promote BF.where-as with follow on milks shops are allowed, and so often follow on milks are cheaper!

i know! you never see first milks advertised in mags or on tv. ????

I wasnt going to put Ellie on follow on milk as she was happy with her hungry baby milk but it was £3 cheaper! I bought a few and she didnt notice a differance, then when she is happy on the follow on they put the price back up! WTF???
Ps there is more iron in follow on milk as babies start to loose their iron stores from 6 months on. x

yeah i noticed yesturday that tesco had the sma progress at 2 for 11quid (and tesco ponits) which got me thinking i could switch & save. but i didnt know the advantage of swapping

in boots its the sma progress is the same price as gold but you get points from the progress. 27(i think) points per tin plus an extra 200 points if you by 2 tins!

(still think formula is a rip off and i BF for nearly 5 months! but i wont start on that rant! LOL)
