Aptamil Pepti 1 400g

Suitable from birth, Aptamil Pepti 1 is formulated for the dietary management of cows’ milk protein allergy (CMPA).

Aptamil Pepti 1 is similar in composition to our standard infant milks, apart from the protein which has been broken down (extensively hydrolysed) to make it less likely to cause an allergic reaction. It also includes lactose for improved taste, to help your baby enjoy each feed and support weight gain.

What is cows’ milk protein allergy?

CMPA is the most common food allergy in infants. Although most children eventually grow out of their milk allergy, its diagnosis and management can be a worrying time for parents. The good news is, with prompt diagnosis by a Healthcare Professional, treatment and expert dietary advice, CMPA can be effectively managed and its impact reduced to a minimum. If you think your child has a cows' milk protein allergy, you should always get in contact with your Healthcare Professional for a correct diagnosis.

What’s in Aptamil Pepti 1?

Aptamil Pepti 1 is an extensively hydrolysed formula made with 100% whey protein. Aptamil Pepti 1 and 2 are the only extensively hydrolysed formulas to contain Galacto- and Fructo-oligosaccharides (GOS/FOS), long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs) Omega 3 and Omega 6, and nucleotides.

• GOS/FOS - A unique blend of Galacto- and Fructo-oligosaccharides.
• LCPs - Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3 and Omega 6)
