For breastfed infants
Aptamil Feed Thickener can be mixed with a small amount of cooled boiled water or expressed breast milk and fed as a gel before, during or directly after the breastfeed. Alternatively, it can be mixed with expressed breast milk to thicken the feed.
For formula fed infants
Aptamil Feed Thickener can be used to thicken standard infant formula products, or specialty formulas. If an infant is on standard formula and requires a thickened feed, Aptamil Gold+ Reflux Infant formula, which already contains a thickener, is recommended.
Reminder:
This product is not an infant formula or complete food for infants. Not suitable for use with premature infants. Only to be used under medical supervision. Consult your healthcare professional for advice.
When your little one is unhappy or unwell you want reliable support from a trusted source. Our Careline team of nutritionists, dietitians and midwives specialise in infant and child health, offering free nutrition, feeding and product information.
Not every parent can produce breast milk. No matter what choice you make, we will support your unique feeding journey.
We at Nutricia believe in providing the best nutrition for babies, which is why we recognise breast milk is uniquely superior for babies as it provides many benefits. It is important that mums have a healthy diet to support breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed, or partial bottle feed, may reduce breast milk supply making it difficult to reverse. The cost and social implications of using feeding methods should be considered. Always seek professional advice about feeding your baby. Ensure formula is used as directed as improper use can affect baby’s health.
