aSTAR: an evidence based guide to help healthcare professionals in the management of infant regurgitation

Nutricia Early Life Nutrition has worked with a panel of healthcare professionals to develop the aSTAR: An Evidence Based Approach to the Management of Infant Regurgitation infographic. The aim of this guide is to support healthcare professionals by increasing awareness of the NICE guideline stepped care approach to management of frequent regurgitation in bottle-fed infants.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Breastfeeding is best for babies. Infant formula is suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed. Follow-on milk is only for babies over 6 months, as part of a mixed diet and should not be used as a breastmilk substitute before 6 months. We advise that all formula milks including the decision to start weaning should be made on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian, pharmacist or other professional responsible for maternal and child care. Foods for special medical purposes should only be used under medical supervision. May be suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition for infants from birth, and/or as part of a balanced diet from 6–12 months. Refer to label for details.
