About

Aptamil Anti-Reflux Complete Formula (German Version, 800g) is a thickened infant formula from Germany for babies who frequently spit up, suitable from birth. Thickened with the natural thickener locust bean gum (carob bean gum), the feed stays thicker in the stomach, which helps reduce the backflow of milk into the food pipe. It is a complete formula that can be used as the sole source of nutrition. Please talk to your pediatrician before switching to an anti-reflux formula.

Instructions

Preparation Instructions:

Boil fresh drinking water and allow it to cool to approximately 104°F (40°C). Pour about 2/3 of the required water into a clean, sterilized bottle.
Add the correct number of leveled scoops using only the enclosed scoop (1 leveled scoop = 4.6 g per 30 ml of water).
Close the bottle and shake vertically for about 10 seconds; add the remaining water and shake again.
Let the prepared Anti-Reflux formula stand and swell for about 5 minutes.
Shake briefly again, attach the teat, and check the drinking temperature (approximately 98°F / 37°C) before feeding.

Important Notes:

Talk to your pediatrician before use. An anti-reflux formula should be used on the advice of your baby's healthcare professional.
Do not use together with the separate Aptamil Anti-Reflux Thickener.
Not suitable for premature infants or babies at risk of allergies.
Due to the thicker consistency, use a teat with a larger hole.
Prepare each feed fresh and feed immediately; do not reuse leftovers. Do not microwave.
Once opened, use within 4 weeks and store in a cool, dry place. Breast milk is best for your baby.
