a2 Platinum® Premium junior milk drink is formulated to complement the normal, varied diet of children from 3 years of age when their dietary intake may be inadequate. It should not be used for children under 3 years, and it should not replace main meals, but may replace regular cow's milk.
Stage 4 is designed for children 3 years +. For a 2‑year‑old, we recommend our a2 Platinum® Premium toddler milk drink (stage 3) which is formulated for toddlers from 1 year. Always follow your healthcare professional's advice.
Once opened, keep the can tightly closed in a cool, dry place and use within 4 weeks. Always check the use-by date on the base of the can. Prepared drinks should be consumed immediately or discarded after 30 minutes (or within 24 h if refrigerated at ≤ 4 °C).
a2 Platinum® Premium junior milk drink does not contain palm oil as an added ingredient.
Yes. Junior milk drinks can conveniently bridge nutrient gaps for fussy eaters by providing protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals when dietary intake is inadequate. It should be consumed in conjunction with regular meals, not as a meal replacement.
Fresh preparation is best. If necessary, you may store a freshly prepared drink in the refrigerator at ≤ 4 °C for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving and discard any unused portion if it has been at room temperature for more than 30 minutes.
For further information please visit our transition webpage. You may also reach out to our a2™ Careline, staffed by Registered Dietitians on 0800 22 46 32 or contact us here. They are here to help support any questions you may have around the changes or to support your transition.
At The a2 Milk Company, we are committed to continuously improving our products to support the nutritional needs of formula-fed and mix feeding infants and young children. As part of this commitment, we have updated the a2 Platinum® range with an updated formulation and refreshed packaging.
You may like to begin the transition with a daytime serve to allow for better monitoring. Start with the new milk drink in the morning, while keeping the familiar milk drink/s in the afternoon or night.
Observe your child's adjustment for 3-5 days. If they adapt well, you can transition fully to the formulation.
When moving to the updated a2 Platinum® range, it’s important to note that the serving guide has been updated and the scoop to water ratio is now 2 scoops to 50mL of water. This change ensures your child continues to receive the nutrition intended for their age when the formula is prepared according to the updated serving guide. To support a smooth transition, always use the scoop provided in the current can and follow the feeding guide and directions for use printed on the can.
If you would like further support with the transition, please contact our a2™ Careline, staffed by Registered Dietitians on 0800 22 46 32 or contact us here.
Our updated a2 Platinum® range now features a premium straight-wall tin, updated artwork and now includes the scoop in the lid for convenience. Additionally, our 800g can now features 3 QR code traceability. You will find QR code on the base of the can, on top of the foil and on the underside of the foil.
