Abstract: The present invention relates to an infant formula being designed to meet the nutritional requirement of an infant and having a phosphorus source and a calcium source such that the Ca/P ratio is from more than 2.0:1 to 2.5:1, and relates to an age-tailored nutrition system for an infant, comprising a first, a second and an optional third infant formulae being designed to meet the nutritional requirement of an infant from birth to two month, from above two to six months and from above six to twelve months respectively, each formula having a Ca/P ratio between 1.0:1 and 2.5:1, wherein the Ca/P ratio in each later stage formula is higher than that in the former infant formula, and wherein at least one of the first, second and optional third infant formulae has a Ca/P ratio from more than 2.0:1 to 2.5:1. The present invention also relates to the use of the infant formula or the age-tailored nutrition system for preparation of a kit for improving bone development of an infant from birth.
