Our Unique Expertise
Inspired by over 120 years of Nutricia's expertise in early life science, and 40 years of pioneering research, our team has developed Aptamil® Anti-Reflux; nutritionally complete* and combining our blend of ingredients with our unique process to develop a formulation specifically designed for babies with frequent reflux and regurgitation.
Reflux and regurgitation: Babies often spit up small amounts of milk after feeding (commonly referred to as posseting) and this is perfectly normal. However, some babies may suffer from more frequent reflux or regurgitation which can be caused by the developing digestive system.
We are devoted to providing you & your baby our very best.
We don't produce for any supermarket own - label brands.

Preparing your baby's feed
Because powdered milks are not sterile, failure to follow instructions may make your baby ill.
1 Wash hands and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers' instructions.
2 Boil 1 litre of freshly run water. Leave kettle to cool for 45 minutes and no longer. Measure the required amount of water (refer to feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle. Be careful of scalding. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water.
3 Using the scoop provided level off the powder with the built-in leveller. Do not press/heap the powder.
4 Add the correct measure of powder to the water. Adding too many or too few scoops can be harmful. Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle. Hold the bottle horizontally and shake from left to right for 10 seconds, then hold it vertically and shake from top to bottom for 10 seconds. The time between adding the scoops and shaking the bottle should be as short as possible.
5 Leave the bottle to stand for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken. Turn the bottle upside down just before feeding. Check temperature of feed. Feed immediately. You may notice that your baby's stools change consistency when using this formula. This is completely normal.
Important feeding advice
- Make up each feed as required.
- For hygiene reasons, do not store made up feeds, discard unfinished feeds as soon as possible, and always within 2 hours.
- Do not heat feeds in a microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding.
- Never add extra scoops or anything else to your baby's feed.
- Never leave your baby alone during feeding.
If you are concerned that your baby has frequent reflux or regurgitation you should speak to your healthcare professional.
Moving to the next stage
If you think your little one is ready to move on from Aptamil® Comfort, speak to a healthcare professional about the most suitable milk for your baby.
