Nestle NAN Baby Formula
Q. We just came back from Guatemala with our adopted daughter who is 6 months old. They were giving her Nestle NAN baby formula.
Does Nestle have NAN formula in the United States? If not what formula should I change her to? Neal, Louisville, MS
A. NAN is an baby formula that is made by Nestle, which also makes Good Start Essentials and Good Start Supreme formula.
It's mostly marketed to Hispanic parents in Latin America. Keep in mind that it isn't the same as Good Start Supreme. Furthermore having a different name, it's made with a different mix of milk proteins. Instead of the 100 percent whey 'comfort proteins' that Good Start Supreme has, NAN is made with a combination of whey and casein milk proteins. It's basically the same as the older Good Start Essentials line of baby formula made by Nestle.
NAN is available in the United States too and is sold in many grocery stores, but mainly in regions that have a large Hispanic population. If you could not find it in a store near where you live, you can buy it online at drugstore.com or consider asking your local grocery store to order it for you.
Or since they are basically the same formula, you may just start feeding her Nestle Good Start Essentials baby formula, which should be more widely available in the United States.
