Key Benefits
Aptamil Preterm Infant Formula 400 g is a specially designed breast milk substitute used to provide intensive nutritional support for premature and low birth weight babies. It delivers concentrated calories, higher proteins, and essential nutrients to facilitate rapid catch-up growth and brain development.
Most paediatricians recommend using preterm formula until the baby reaches their original estimated due date or until they achieve a healthy "catch-up" weight (usually around 2.5 kg to 3 kg). Always consult your paediatrician before transitioning to a standard infant formula.
Premature formula is significantly more nutrient-dense. It contains higher calories, more easily digestible protein, increased levels of calcium and phosphorus for bone growth, and medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) for faster energy absorption compared to standard term formulas.
Yes. It is explicitly formulated with optimised calories and high-quality whey proteins to ensure steady, healthy weight gain in low birth weight infants, helping them catch up to the growth milestones of full-term babies.
While breast milk is the best source of nutrition, paediatricians sometimes recommend fortifying breast milk or supplementing feeds with preterm formula to meet high caloric needs. Always follow your doctor's exact instructions regarding mixed feeding.
The standard dilution usually requires one level scoop of powder for every 30 ml (1 oz) of water. However, dosage requirements vary heavily based on your baby's current weight and gestational age. Strictly adhere to your paediatrician's prescribed dosage.
Yes. It features a whey-dominant protein profile (60:40 whey-to-casein ratio) and contains MCTs, making it significantly easier for a premature baby's underdeveloped digestive system to process and absorb.
Absolutely. It is fortified with medically recommended levels of DHA and ARA, which are critical lipids required for the proper development of a premature infant's brain, nervous system, and vision.
Store the tin in a cool, dry, and hygienic place away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate the powder. Ensure the lid is closed tightly after every use, and consume the entire contents within 3 weeks of opening.
When prepared and dosed correctly under medical supervision, side effects are rare. However, incorrect dilution can lead to constipation, dehydration, or poor weight gain. Consult a physician if your baby experiences excessive spit-up, diarrhoea, or unusual fussiness.
