Can I store pre-mixed formula made from the tabs?

No, it is recommended to use the formula promptly once the tab has been dissolved. Do not store pre-mixed formula.

Is this product suitable for premature babies?

This product is formulated for newborns up to 6 months. For premature babies, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional for specific nutritional recommendations.

How long can I use Aptamil 1 Pre-Measured Tabs?

Aptamil 1 Pre-Measured Tabs are suitable from birth up to 6 months as a primary source of nutrition.

Can I add vitamins or other supplements to the formula?

It is not recommended to add anything to the formula unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional, as the formula is already nutritionally complete for your baby's age.

What should I do if my baby needs more or less than 1 liter of formula?

Troubleshooting

Tab does not fully dissolve

Ensure the water is warm enough (around 40°C) and shake the bottle vigorously. If issues persist, ensure the tab is not expired and try dissolving in a small amount of water first before adding the rest.

Baby experiences digestive discomfort

Consult with a healthcare professional. While formulated for newborns, individual sensitivities can occur. Ensure preparation instructions were followed precisely.

Formula appears lumpy

This may indicate incomplete dissolving or cooling of the formula. Re-shake the bottle and ensure it's used immediately after preparation and warming.
