Introducing GERBER GOOD START Infant Formula
A child’s nutrition journey begins at birth. And now the most trusted brand in the baby aisle
is a part of that journey every step of the way. Breastmilk is the best start for babies. But for
those who can’t or choose not to breastfeed, GOOD START Infant Formula is the first step in
Start Healthy, Stay Healthy™ – an integrated nutrition system for children 0-48 months.
Product Information
Milk-Based Formulas
Featuring Easy to Digest COMFORT PROTEINS®
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.
