Aptamil Feed Thickener 380g
Aptamil Feed Thickener is a specialty thickening agent. It may be mixed with breast milk, standard infant formulas or some specialty infant formulas, to help manage regurgitation issues. In all cases, it should only be used under medical supervision. It can be used safely and effectively to thicken infant feeds but should never be used as a sole source of nutrition.
For breastfed infants: Aptamil Feed Thickener can be mixed with a small amount of cool 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 a standard formula and requires a thickened feed, Aptamil Gold+ Reflux Infant Formula, which already contains thickener, is recommended.
