Follow-on milks are for babies aged six months upwards and can provide an important source of iron and vitamin C during the weaning period. They play a part in ensuring babies of this age receive a balanced diet that meets their nutritional and developmental needs. There is recent evidence that use of a follow-on milk prevents iron-deficiency anaemia. Greater efforts should be made to discourage parents and carers from giving cow's milk as a main drink to babies under one year. The main milk should be breast milk, infant formula or follow-on milk. Some parents are not yet following this advice. Follow-on milks are not breast-milk substitutes and in the UK are not recommended for babies under six months.
后续奶适用于六个月及以上的婴儿，在断奶期间可提供重要的铁和维生素C来源。它们有助于确保这个年龄段的婴儿获得能满足其营养和发育需求的均衡饮食。最近有证据表明，食用后续奶可预防缺铁性贫血。应加大力度劝阻父母和照顾者不要将牛奶作为一岁以下婴儿的主要饮品。主要的奶类应该是母乳、婴儿配方奶粉或后续奶。一些家长尚未遵循这一建议。后续奶不是母乳替代品，在英国不建议给六个月以下的婴儿使用。
