Kendamil Classic Toddler Formula Stage 3 for Babies 10 to 12 Months
Kendamil Classic Toddler Formula Stage 3 is a growing-up milk for children from 12 months onward, formulated to complement the varied diet a toddler is building. Produced by the family-owned McMahon company with roots in Kendal, Cumbria since 1962, it keeps the whole-cow-milk base and palm-oil-free recipe that define the Classic range. Talk with your pediatrician before introducing or changing a toddler milk drink to make sure it fits your child's overall nutrition.
Kendamil's Whole-Milk Heritage
Kendamil has been producing formula in Kendal, Cumbria since the factory opened in 1962, with the Kendamil brand itself launching in 2016. The company is still run by the McMahon family, and the commitment to using whole milk, rather than skimmed milk reconstituted with added vegetable fats, runs through every stage of the Classic cow range.
EU-market cans distributed by Organic Formula Europe are labeled Product of the EU. The Classic line is non-organic; if you prefer a certified organic Kendamil option, the Kendamil Formula Stage 3 collection page shows what is available at this stage.
Stage 3: Growing-Up Milk for Toddlers From 12 Months
Stage 3 is a toddler growing-up milk, not an infant formula. It is designed to sit alongside solid meals as an additional source of nutrients like iron, calcium, and vitamins during the busy second year and beyond. It is not intended as a sole food source.
Kendamil Classic Stage 3 is vegetarian friendly. DHA from microalgae (Schizochytrium sp.) is included, and ARA from Mortierella alpina oil is also present, rounding out the nutrient profile alongside the broader diet.
Ingredients and Composition
The formula uses whole cow's milk alongside skimmed milk. Carbohydrates come from lactose, and the prebiotic blend includes GOS and FOS. No maltodextrin or starch is listed in the Classic Stage 3 recipe.
Vegetable oils are sunflower, coconut, and rapeseed. No palm oil is used in Kendamil Classic Stage 3. DHA is supplied by algae oil from Schizochytrium sp., and ARA by oil from Mortierella alpina.

How to Prepare Powdered Formula
- Boil fresh water for each feed and let it cool to the temperature printed on your can. Powdered infant formula is not sterile, so the CDC and WHO advise that water at about 158°F (70°C) lowers the risk of Cronobacter, especially for newborns and higher-risk infants. Follow your can's instructions and ask your pediatrician which approach is right for your baby.
- Pour about two-thirds of the required water into a clean, sterilized bottle.
- Use only the scoop provided with your formula pack (sizes may vary). Add the correct number of level scoops - 1 scoop per 1 oz / 30 ml of water.
- Close the bottle with the nipple and cap. Shake vigorously until all powder is dissolved.
- Add the remaining water and shake again.
- Cool to drinking temperature (approx. 98 °F / 37 °C). Always test the milk temperature before feeding to avoid scalding your baby.
Important Information
- Only use the scoop included in the package.
- Do not make feeds weaker or stronger than indicated. Do not add extra water, scoops, or other ingredients.
- Always prepare fresh. Do not prepare bottles in advance. Discard any leftovers after each feed.
- Never heat bottles in the microwave - hot spots can cause burns.
- Once opened, use formula within 21 days. Never use beyond the expiration date printed on the box/tin (format: day/month/year).
- Avoid storing formula in hot or humid environments.
