Aptamil Anti-Reflux Milk Formula From Birth 800g

Aptamil Anti Reflux Formula From Birth

You can trust this specially formulated milk to help manage your baby's reflux symptoms from birth onwards. This anti reflux formula contains added rice starch that naturally thickens when it reaches your baby's stomach, helping to reduce the likelihood of milk coming back up. The formula provides complete nutrition for healthy growth and development whilst addressing the specific needs of babies who experience frequent regurgitation.

Each 800g tin provides multiple feeds and has been developed to meet the nutritional requirements of infants from birth. The formula dissolves easily in warm water and maintains the familiar taste that babies accept readily. You'll find this particularly helpful during feeding times when managing reflux symptoms is a priority.

How Rice Starch Technology Works

The key ingredient that makes this formula effective is pre-cooked rice starch, which remains liquid in the bottle but thickens naturally once it reaches your baby's stomach. This thickening action helps keep the milk down, reducing episodes of regurgitation and possetting that can be distressing for both you and your baby.

Unlike some thickening agents that work immediately upon mixing, rice starch activates at body temperature. This means the formula flows normally through the teat whilst providing the anti-reflux benefits where they're needed most. The thickening effect is gentle and works with your baby's natural digestive processes.

Suitable for Babies with Frequent Regurgitation

This formula is specifically designed for babies who experience regular episodes of bringing up milk after feeds. You might notice your baby seems uncomfortable after feeding, frequently spits up, or appears unsettled during or after meals. Many parents find relief when switching to this specialised formula under healthcare professional guidance.

The formula is appropriate for:

• Babies from birth who experience frequent regurgitation
• Infants with diagnosed gastro-oesophageal reflux
• Babies who seem uncomfortable after regular formula feeds
• Those requiring nutritionally complete anti-reflux support

Complete Nutritional Profile for Growing Babies

Despite being formulated for reflux management, this milk provides all the essential nutrients your baby needs for healthy development. The formula contains appropriate levels of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals that support normal growth patterns from birth onwards.

The nutritional composition follows strict infant formula regulations, ensuring your baby receives adequate nutrition whilst benefiting from the anti-reflux properties. You can use this as a complete milk replacement or as advised by your healthcare professional, depending on your baby's specific needs and feeding requirements.

Preparation and Storage Guidelines

You should always follow the preparation instructions carefully to ensure the formula works effectively and safely. Use cooled boiled water and add the powder according to the feeding guide on the packaging. The formula may appear slightly thicker than regular milk when prepared, which is normal due to the rice starch content.

Store the unopened tin in a cool, dry place and use within four weeks of opening. Once prepared, feeds should be used within two hours at room temperature or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Always discard any leftover prepared formula after feeding to maintain hygiene standards.
