Description
Kendamil UK Classic Cow Formula Stage 2 is a whole-milk follow-on formula for babies ages 6 to 12 months. It is used as part of a mixed diet alongside solid foods, serving as the natural next step after Classic Stage 1, any other starter formula, or breastfeeding.
This is the original award-winning Kendamil recipe, made with love since 1962 and tailored for the weaning months. Instead of skimmed milk and added oil blends, it is built on fresh whole milk from British family farms, so the natural milk fat stays in. With it comes MFGM: a natural part of the milk fat, also found in breast milk, that supports your baby's brain development. The bottle stays golden and creamy. The recipe needs no palm oil. For this stage, iron steps up, right when your baby's own iron store from birth needs topping up. Lactose remains the only carbohydrate. DHA for brain and eyesight comes from plant-based algae oil rather than fish oil. There is no corn syrup, no soy, and no GMOs.
This creamy follow-on milk is made in England's Lake District for the UK market and comes in an 800 g (28.2 oz) can. Everything on the can is in plain English, from the preparation steps to the feeding chart and ingredients, so there is nothing to translate.
This formula has a 5-star rating from many parents in our store. "Clean ingredients and my baby loves it!"

What Makes This Formula Special
The second half of year one is when feeding gets wonderfully messy: purees, finger foods, and a baby who suddenly has opinions. Classic Stage 2 is designed to be the dependable part of the day. Iron steps up because a baby's iron stores from birth run low around 6 months, supporting healthy blood, energy, and cognitive development exactly when solid meals are still hit or miss. Calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D keep pace with a little body learning to sit, crawl, and pull up.
The tummy support is where Classic quietly outdoes many follow-on milks. It includes a double dose of prebiotic fibers, GOS and FOS, to feed the good bacteria in a gut adapting to new foods, plus the naturally occurring HMO 3'-GL, a special milk sugar found in breast milk, and nucleotides for a young immune system meeting the world one chewed toy at a time. And while many brands switch to starch or maltodextrin at this stage, Kendamil keeps lactose as the only carbohydrate across the whole range.
Stepping up from Kendamil UK Classic Stage 1? The transition is seamless: the same creamy whole-milk taste your baby already knows, now tailored for the weaning phase. Prefer the certified organic seal? Kendamil UK Organic Stage 2 is the sister path, sharing the same whole-milk philosophy, while Classic remains the original award-winning recipe at a friendlier price. At 12 months, Kendamil UK Classic Stage 3 continues as the toddler milk.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is Kendamil UK Classic Stage 2 for?
It is a follow-on formula for babies from 6 to 12 months, used as part of a mixed diet alongside solid foods. From 12 months, Kendamil UK Classic Stage 3 is the toddler milk that comes next.
What is the difference between Classic Stage 1 and Stage 2?
Stage 2 provides more iron because a baby's iron stores from birth need topping up around 6 months, and the nutrition is balanced for the weaning phase. The whole-milk base, algae DHA, double prebiotics, and creamy taste remain exactly the same, so switching is seamless.
What is the difference between Kendamil Classic and Kendamil Organic at this stage?
Both share the whole-milk philosophy: MFGM is retained, no palm oil, algae-derived DHA, and lactose as the only carbohydrate. Organic carries the certified organic seal, while Classic is the original award-winning recipe, includes an extra prebiotic fiber, FOS, and is usually the more accessible choice.
Can I mix it into food instead of a bottle?
Yes. Kendamil designed this stage to work as a drink or in food, so it can go into porridge or purees. The can suggests about 600 ml a day at this age, however your baby prefers to take it.
How long does one can last?
The 800 g (28.2 oz) can makes about 55 bottles of 100 ml (3.4 fl oz), using the included scoop of 4.3 g per 30 ml of water. At around 600 ml a day, that is just over a week per can. Once opened, use it within 4 weeks. Our formula calculator shows exactly how many cans you need for your baby's age.

How to make a bottle
To open the can: snap open the tamper-proof clip and dispose of it immediately and safely, away from children. Hold the top of the can with both hands, place both thumbs under the lip, and push up to open. The scoop is held inside the lid. Open the foil seal by carefully pulling back on the easy-open tab, then dispose of the foil.
- Wash your hands, then sterilize your feeding utensils according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Fill a kettle with 1 liter of freshly run tap water. Do not use repeatedly boiled water.
- Boil the water and leave it to cool for no more than 30 minutes, so it stays at a temperature of at least 70°C.
- Measure the required water into a sterilized bottle.
- Using the scoop provided, add the correct number of leveled scoops to the bottle. Use the straight edge inside the lid to level each scoop. Scoop size: 4.3g. Use 1 scoop per 30ml water.
- Place a sterilized teat and cap on the bottle and shake well to dissolve the powder.
- Cool to natural body temperature, approximately 37°C (98°F), by running the bottle under cold running water with the lid on. Always test the temperature on the inside of your wrist before feeding.
Use the correct amount of leveled scoops as directed. Using too much or too little can make your baby ill. Once feeding begins, use the formula within 1 hour or discard it. Do not add food products such as cow's milk to your baby's milk. Do not re-heat in a microwave. When bottle feeding, do not allow prolonged contact of milk feeds with your baby's teeth, as this increases the risk of tooth decay. Make sure your baby's teeth are cleaned each night after the last feed. Use only the scoop provided in the pack.
