FAQs
What is the main purpose of Aptamil Pepti 2?
Aptamil Pepti 2 is a follow-on formula for infants aged 6-12 months who have been diagnosed with cow's milk allergy. It provides essential nutrition while minimizing allergic reactions.
What is the Syneo blend?
The Syneo blend is a unique combination of prebiotic oligosaccharides (scGOS/lcFOS) and Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, designed to support a healthy gut microbiome and aid digestion.
How should Aptamil Pepti 2 be prepared?
Boil fresh water and cool it to approximately 37°C. Add the correct amount of powder to the water in a sterilized bottle and shake or stir until dissolved. Feed immediately.
Can I prepare the feed in advance?

What does 'extensively hydrolysed protein' mean?
It means the protein (whey protein) has been broken down into very small pieces, making it much less likely to trigger an allergic reaction in sensitive infants.
What is the shelf life after opening the tin?
The powder should be used within 4 weeks of opening the tin. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
Infant shows signs of digestive discomfort (e.g., gas, fussiness) after feeding.
Ensure the formula is prepared exactly as per instructions. Gently wind the baby during and after feeds. Consult your healthcare professional if discomfort persists.
Formula appears lumpy or does not dissolve properly.
Ensure water is at the correct temperature (around 37°C). Shake or stir the bottle vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved. Check that the correct powder-to-water ratio is being used.
Infant experiences an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, vomiting).
Stop feeding immediately and contact your healthcare professional. While designed to be hypoallergenic, individual sensitivities can vary.
Powder clumps in the container.
