Full details

Developed by scientists with 50 years of breastmilk research, it can be used alongside breastfeeding or as a primary formula.

Key features include a blend of GOS/FOS, 2'FL, essential fatty acids, milk fat for taste, DHA, and calcium, all in palm oil-free and recyclable packaging.

Troubleshooting

Formula not dissolving properly

Ensure water is at the correct temperature (around 70°C) and shake the bottle/beaker vigorously until all powder is dissolved. Using lukewarm water (37°C) can make dissolving harder.

Baby experiencing digestive upset (gas, mild constipation)

Ensure preparation instructions are followed precisely. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare provider, as other factors may be involved.

Scoop missing or damaged

Contact the retailer or Aptamil customer service for a replacement scoop. Ensure you use the correct scoop size for accurate powder measurement.

Formula appears lumpy after preparation

This can happen if the powder is not fully dissolved. Shake the bottle/beaker more vigorously. If lumps persist, discard the feed and prepare a fresh one.
