FAQs

What is lactose intolerance in infants?

Lactose intolerance in infants means their digestive system has difficulty breaking down lactose, a sugar found in milk. This can lead to symptoms like gas, diarrhoea, and tummy pain.

When can I start using SMA Lactose Free Infant Milk?

This formula is suitable from birth onwards and can be used as a sole source of nutrition for infants not being breastfed, or as part of a varied weaning diet for older infants.

How do I prepare a feed?

Prepare each feed separately by washing hands, sterilising equipment, using freshly boiled and cooled water, adding the correct amount of powder with the provided scoop, shaking well, and checking the temperature before feeding.

Can this formula be used for babies with cow's milk protein allergy?

No, this formula is not suitable for infants with cow's milk protein allergy. It still contains milk protein derivatives.

How long does an opened tin last?

Once opened, the powder should be stored in a cool, dry place and used within 4 weeks. Always discard any unfinished feed.

What should I do if my baby has an allergic reaction?

If you suspect an allergic reaction or adverse effect, stop feeding immediately and consult your healthcare professional. Ensure the formula is appropriate for your baby's specific dietary needs.

Is this product suitable for premature babies?

This product is generally suitable from birth for term infants with lactose intolerance. For premature babies, specific nutritional needs should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
