Also known as "Follow-On", our milk-based formula for older infants, Bright Beginnings 2 with the Lipids DHA & ARA is intended for babies four months and up who have started a diet supplemented by baby cereals and baby foods. Our stage 2 formula is fortified with iron and contains calcium levels necessary for your baby’s growing bones.

Bright Beginnings 2 with Lipids is intended to replace traditional starter formula and has been specially formulated for use as a supplement to the solid food portion of the older baby’s diet. Our formula provides all the nutrition your older baby needs during the early stages of development, including DHA and ARA.

Bright Beginnings 2 with Lipids contains DHA. DHA is an important nutrient occurring naturally in mother's milk that aids in the in the proper development of a baby's brain and eyes.

Our formula meets all FDA standards and the recommendations of the World Health Organization for DHA and ARA (1). Plus, it provides the benefits of lipids at a savings of up to 33% compared to other national DHA brands.

Benefits of DHA & ARA in Baby Formula

DHA and ARA occur naturally in mother's milk and belong to a class of nutrients called lipids, or fats. Lipids are an essential part of a healthy diet because they are important structural components of vital organs, particularly an infant's brain and eyes.

Interest in DHA and ARA has increased following several scientific studies showing that infants fed formula supplemented with DHA and ARA gained intellectual and visual benefits not found in infants who were fed standard formulas without DHA and ARA. In fact, studies have indicated improvements in mental and visual development, problem solving skills, and IQ tests for infants fed formula with the lipids DHA & ARA (2).
