Similac Pro-Advance Step 2 Baby Formula, 6-24 months, with 2′-FL is designed to be as close to breast milk as possible while providing essential nutrients for growing babies. This formula is calcium-enriched and suitable for babies 6 months and older. It includes 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL), a component found in breast milk that helps support baby’s immune system, along with a DHA, lutein, and natural vitamin E blend to support brain and eye development. The product uses milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones and is non-GMO*, offering a familiar taste and comfortable digestion for many infants.
Key advantages come from its immune-supporting 2′-FL, which has been associated with fewer respiratory infections in some studies when used in formula. The exclusive blend of DHA and lutein supports healthy brain and eye development, while vitamin E helps protect fats in body tissues from oxidation. This formula is available in ready-to-use bottles or easy-to-scoop powder, providing flexibility for parents on the go. 859 G is the stated size of this variant, enabling a long-lasting supply for caregivers.
Why this matters
- 2′-FL — a natural breast-milk–like oligosaccharide that helps support immune development when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
- DHA — supports the normal development of the brain and eyes, important during the first years of life.
- Lutein — an antioxidant that helps protect fats in body tissues, including DHA, from oxidation.
- Natural vitamin E — provides antioxidant protection for fats in the formula and supports overall nutrition.
- Non-GMO ingredients and milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones — alignment with families seeking ingredient integrity.
