Allergy Advice: For allergens, see ingredients in bold.

It is important to provide parents with advice on how to make up specialist milk, as they may not be aware that it can differ from standard formula. Here is some general guidance, but please see preparation instructions on the product packaging for further information.

STEP 1. Wash hands and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers’ instructions.

STEP 2. Boil 1 litre of freshly run water. Leave kettle to cool for 30 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.

STEP 3. Using the scoop provided level off the powder with the built in leveller. Do not press/heap the powder.

STEP 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 and shake immediately, vertically and vigorously for at least 10 seconds, until the powder is dissolved.

STEP 5. Cool under a running tap. Check temperature of feed. Feed immediately.

Due to the blend of ingredients in Aptamil® Comfort, the milk can separate once prepared. If this occurs, shake the bottle vigorously to mix and use as normal.

  • We recommend using a variable flow teat or a single hole with medium or fast flow, due to Aptamil® Comfort having a thicker texture than most other milks.
  • Babies’ stools may change in colour and consistency when using this formula, this is completely normal.
  • Halal certified.
  • Not suitable for intravenous use.
  • Not suitable for cow’s milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
  • Not suitable for vegetarians.
