Preparing Thickened Bottle Feeds: Use expressed breast milk, or prepare infant formula as directed. Add to the bottle, 2 scoops (8g) of Aptamil® Feed Thickener for each 200mL of breast milk or formula. Shake vigorously. If baby continues to regurgitate, gradually increase to 3 or 4 scoops for each 200mL. A medium-fast flow teat is recommended unless otherwise advised.

 

Preparing a Gel: Sprinkle 1 scoop of Aptamil® Feed Thickener into 20-30mL (approximately 1-2 tablespoons) of cooled, boiled water, expressed breast milk or infant formula. Whisk or mix vigorously to a thin paste. Increase up to 2 scoops if a thicker gel is needed. Feed the gel from a spoon, cup or plastic syringe, before, during or directly after the breast or bottle feed. Make into a paste to apply to the nipples.

 

Preparing Thickened Foods: Add Aptamil® Feed Thickener gradually to foods such as soups, sauces, purees and custards, until desired texture is achieved.

 

All formula feeds should be prepared immediately before feeding baby. Do not prepare gels, thickened feeds or thickened foods in advance as thickness will increase on standing. Discard unfinished gels, feeds or food.

 

Follow instructions as recommended. Do not change proportions of powder except on medical advice.
