Aptamil Anti-Reflux Baby Milk Powder is formulated to address the specific needs of infants experiencing frequent reflux and regurgitation. The primary mechanism involves carob bean gum, which thickens the formula once prepared. This increased viscosity helps the milk remain in the baby's stomach, reducing the likelihood of it coming back up. It is important to understand that this formula is a medical food and should only be used under medical supervision, especially for diagnosed reflux issues. For example, if your baby frequently brings up large amounts of milk after feeds despite attempts to burp and position them, this formula may be recommended by a healthcare professional. It serves as a sole source of nutrition for infants from birth to 6 months and can be integrated into a weaning diet for babies from 6 months up to 1 year. The thickening action provides tangible relief for babies and parents, helping to ensure infants retain their feeds and absorb essential nutrients for healthy growth.
