Description
When it comes to choosing the right nutrition for your baby, Prima Follow Up Formula Milk is a name Bangladeshi parents have come to trust. Manufactured by MG Nutritionals – a division of Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Ltd, Australia – and brought to local families by Abul Khair Consumer Products Ltd, Prima combines international dairy expertise with a formula designed specifically to support your baby through every stage of early growth.
Prima Follow Up Formula Milk is available in two stages, so you can choose the right formula as your baby grows – or select both together as your little one transitions from newborn to toddler.
Prima 1 – Infant Formula (0-6 Months)
Prima 1 is formulated for the earliest and most delicate stage of your baby’s life. It’s intended for use after birth for healthy infants who are deprived of breast milk, following your doctor’s advice – and should generally be followed as directed on the tin unless your doctor prescribes otherwise. Fortified with iron, Prima 1 supports healthy early growth during the first six months.
Prima 1 feeding guide (age 0–6 months):
| Age of infant | Feedings per 24 hours | Water per feed (ml) |
| 1st & 2nd weeks | 6 | 90 |
| 3rd & 4th weeks | 5 | 120 |
| 2nd month | 5 | 150 |
| 3rd & 4th months | 5 | 180 |
| 5th & 6th months | 5 | 210 |
Prima 2 – Follow-Up Formula (6-24 Months)
Once your baby reaches 6 months, their nutritional needs shift as they begin exploring solid foods. Prima 2 is formulated to complement this gradually increasing, varied diet, delivering a balanced mix of protein, fat, and carbohydrates along with a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals – including calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B-complex group – to support healthy growth, strong bones, and a developing immune system through toddlerhood.
Prima 2 feeding guide (age 6–24 months):
| Age of infant | Feedings per 24 hours | |
| From 6 months | ~5 | |
| From 7 months | ~3–4 | |

Important Note for Parents
Breast milk is the natural and ideal food for infants, and remains the best source of nutrition throughout the first 6 months of life. Prima Follow Up Formula Milk (Prima 1 or Prima 2) should only be introduced on the advice of your pediatrician or healthcare provider, and used as directed – Prima 1 for healthy infants deprived of breast milk from birth, and Prima 2 as part of a diversified diet from 6 months onward. Do not change your baby’s formula without consulting a qualified health professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Prima 1 and Prima 2?
- Prima 1 is an infant formula with iron designed for newborns from birth to 6 months, meant for healthy infants deprived of breast milk. Prima 2 is a follow-up formula for babies from 6 to 24 months, formulated to support a gradually increasing, varied diet as your baby transitions toward solid foods.
Can I use Prima Follow Up Formula Milk as a full replacement for breast milk?
- Breast milk is the natural and ideal food for infants and remains the best source of nutrition, especially during the first 6 months. Prima should only be used when breastfeeding isn’t possible or as a supplement, and always on the advice of your pediatrician.
How do I switch from Prima 1 to Prima 2?
- Most babies move to Prima 2 once they reach 6 months and begin a more varied diet. However, always check with your doctor before changing formulas, since every baby’s nutritional needs can differ slightly.
Can Prima 2 be mixed with food or given in a cup?
- Yes. Prima 2 is flexible for growing appetites – it works equally well in a bottle, a cup, or stirred into cereals and other weaning foods as your baby starts exploring solids.
How should I store Prima Follow Up Formula Milk after opening?
- Keep the tin tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use it within one month of opening. Always check the expiry date and batch number printed on the base of the tin.
Is it safe to store a prepared bottle for later feeding?
- No. Prepared formula should not be reused from a previous feed. If you need to store it briefly, refrigerate immediately and use within 24 hours – never leave it at room temperature.
How does Prima Follow Up Formula Milk compare to other brands available in Bangladesh?
- Many parents compare a few trusted options before choosing a formula for their baby. Alongside Prima, popular alternatives include Nestle NAN Formula Price in Bangladesh – Stage 1, 2, 3, 4 and Biomil Infant Milk Formula – Stage 1, 2, 3, 4. Since every baby’s needs are different, it’s best to discuss the right choice with your pediatrician before switching or selecting a formula.
