An excellent formula choice for babies 0 to 12 months

• Milk-based formula with our unique 100% whey COMFORT PROTEINS® for easy digestion and DHA & ARA to support brain and eye development.
• Good Start milk-based formulas have levels of DHA & ARA that are recommended by experts and similar to levels shown in studies to support babies’ brain and eye development.

The PLUS is the extra step we take to create easy to digest COMFORT PROTEINS.

Not All Infant Formulas are Alike

GOOD START milk-based formulas are the first and only infant formulas that take the extra steps to create COMFORT PROTEINS. Our unique two-step process starts with gentle 100% whey protein, the highest quality protein used in infant formula. Then, we break down this gentle whey protein ingredient into smaller pieces to be easy to digest. We call them COMFORT PROTEINS, and only GOOD START milk-based formulas have them. No other formulas take both these extra steps.

Offering Complete Nutrition

If you're a breastfeeding mom, continue to provide nature's best for your baby. If you supplement breastmilk with formula or use formula exclusively, be sure your choice is an iron-fortified infant formula such as NESTLÉ^® GOOD START^® Gentle PLUS™. Like all routine infant formulas sold in the U.S., GOOD START formulas contain complete nutrition with the levels of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals recommended by experts for Baby's first year. Plus, all our GOOD START milk-based formulas are specially designed with proteins that are broken down to be easy to digest in babies’ developing tummies. We call them COMFORT PROTEINS.

The Plus Is the Extra Step We Take to Create Easy to Digest COMFORT PROTEINS^®

Not all infant formulas are alike. NESTLÉ^® GOOD START^® milk-based formulas are the only formulas made with gentle 100% whey COMFORT PROTEINS®.

Throughout your baby’s first year, her digestive system is still developing. That’s why we use our unique two-step process to make COMFORT PROTEINS, which are specially designed to be gentle on tiny tummies.

• Our unique process starts with 100% whey protein, the highest-quality protein ingredient available in infant formula.
• Then we break down this gentle whey protein into smaller, easy-to-digest COMFORT PROTEINS.

The PLUS is the extra step we take.

The Importance of Whey Protein

Just like moms, Nestlé goes to extra lengths for babies. Knowing that all babies' digestive systems are still developing during the first year, we use our unique process to make our formula gentle on your baby's tummy.

A key to that gentle formula is choosing the right protein ingredient from the very start. That's why our unique process begins with 100% whey protein, the highest-quality protein ingredient available in infant formula. Unlike the protein ingredients in other routine formulas, the gentle 100% whey protein in GOOD START formulas doesn’t form curds in babies' developing tummies.

Clinical evidence has shown that formula made with 100% whey protein empties from babies' tummies faster than other routine formulas, which may help reduce the potential for spitting up.

But it's the diaper that tells the story best. The stools of babies on formulas with higher whey content tend to be softer, like those of breastfed infants. Babies fed GOOD START formulas may be more likely to have stool patterns similar to those of breastfed babies.

NESTLÉ GOOD START Gentle PLUS Formula with COMFORT PROTEINS is a routine formula. If you suspect your baby is allergic to milk, use only under a doctor’s supervision. When switching formula, a gradual transition is best. As with any powdered infant formula, use with immunocompromised infants is not recommended.

About DHA & ARA

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid) are fatty acids, or lipids, found naturally in breastmilk. They’re important components of Baby’s healthy brain and eye tissues. During the third trimester of pregnancy, Mom passes DHA & ARA to Baby. After Baby is born, Mom can provide DHA & ARA to Baby by breastfeeding or giving her formula that has DHA & ARA.

Breastmilk is best for babies. However, if you decide to wean or supplement with formula, your baby's body can make DHA & ARA from the fatty acids (linolenic acid and linoleic acid) found in all infant formulas. Some experts believe that infant formulas that have DHA & ARA, such as GOOD START Gentle PLUS Formula, may provide additional support for formula-fed infants' brain and eye development. That’s why formulas, such as GOOD START Gentle PLUS Formula, have these important components.

All infant formulas sold in the United States use the same source of DHA & ARA. The only difference among formula brands is the amount of DHA & ARA. GOOD START Protect PLUS and GOOD START Gentle PLUS Formulas provide levels of DHA & ARA that are naturally found in breastmilk¹ and similar to levels recommended by experts and shown in studies to support babies' brain and eye development. These levels also are consistent with those specified by the World Health Organization (WHO).²

Breastmilk is the ideal food for babies. Talk with your doctor about your feeding choices.

¹Based on the range of DHA and ARA levels in breastmilk (approximately 25th–75th percentile of worldwide levels). Studies to date have not established brain and eye development like breastmilk based on the levels of DHA and ARA in infant formula.

Studies to date have not established superior performance among competing brands based on higher DHA & ARA levels.
