Aptamil Hungry First Infant Milk from Birth, 800g

Product Information

The make-up of all infant formula is as close to breast milk as possible, but it’s impossible to replicate all the ingredients found in breast milk. It's estimated that there are more than 100 substances in breast milk that aren't in baby formula. Plus, breast milk changes over time to provide the nutrients your baby needs. Powder: Using the scoop, add the powder to the water, as per the feeding guide. To make sure the right amount of powder is added, use the leveller on the inside of the box to level off the scoops. Don't press or heap the powder as adding too much or too little formula could make your baby ill. Our passionate team of more than 500 scientists and experts have developed our Aptamil® Hungry First Infant Milk, inspired by 50 years of research in early life science. Our formulation is nutritionally complete* and suitable from birth as a breastmilk substitute.

Under the regulations, infant formula is also not allowed to be advertised to the public or be offered at a discounted rate. This is so that it doesn’t undermine breastfeeding. All of our milks are tested to ensure they meet strict quality and safety standards and are completely safe for your baby.To switch over to a new milk straight away, follow the instructions on the side of the new tub. To move over more gradually, introduce one feed of Comfort milk a day – preferably in the morning – but keep on giving their usual milk at all other times. After two to three days, introduce a second feed of the new milk, and keep going until all of the feeds are with Aptamil Comfort. Moving on from Aptamil Comfort milk Regulations dictate compositional criteria, minimum and maximum levels of nutrients that must be included, the level of pesticide residue permitted, how formulas can be named and labelled, and how the formulas can be presented (for example, they’re not allowed to include pictures of babies). The majority of products advise on three scoops per feed. However, HiPP Organic and Aldi advise on two scoops. This will be the result of a more concentrated powder. Breastfeeding is best. Follow-on milk should only be used as part of a mixed diet from 6 months. Talk to your healthcare professional.

Why professional advice is best

Every baby is different and their appetites vary massively 1. The table below provides a general guide to how often and how much you should feed your baby, relative to their age. Another important change at 6 months, is that the natural iron stores your baby was born with start to deplete so follow on milks, such as Aptamil Follow On Milk, contain more iron than Aptamil First Infant Milk and Aptamil Hungry Infant Milk. So many mums make the switch to help meet their babies’ changing needs. A good little thing which I think is baby whisperer is Eat (feed) Activity (not much at 4 weeks, but little awake time, nappy change, wash, dressing all counts) then sleep then it repeats - rather then thinking of hours or ounces so when baby wakes feed, then activity then they sleep then eat - repeat! As you would expect all our infant formula undergoes rigorous testing and assessment to ensure its safety.

Working with your doctor to make a diagnosis

During the first few weeks, all babies, whether they are being breast or bottlefed, tend to need feeding very frequently – hourly feeds are not uncommon. This is because newborns have very tiny tummies, which are easily filled up in one go. Some mums can mistake this frequent demand for feeding as their baby being unusually hungry and may consider moving them on to Aptamil Hungry Infant Milkwhich contains 80% casein, compared to 40% in Aptamil First Infant Milk; it’s this higher casein content that helps your baby feel fuller for longer as it is slower to digest than whey. Aptamil Anti-Reflux, Cow & Gate Anti-Reflux and SMA Anti-Reflux are all marketed as helping reflux, posseting and regurgitation. Their independent experts "concluded that the estimated exposures of infants to aluminium from the dietary sources did not indicate toxicological concerns or a need for a change in government advice," said an FSA spokesman. Research has consistently shown that breast milk is best for babies, but some women cannot breastfeed, or choose not to, while others combine it with formula milk. The FSA tested 170 samples of bottled water from 15 brands. All met the WHO guideline level for adults, which is 15 micrograms of uranium per litre. Keep in mind that lactose intolerance is not the same as a cow's milk allergy. Lactose-free formula contains cow’s milk proteins that are found in normal infant formula, so it isn't suitable for babies with a cow’s milk allergy.
