Aptamil Gold+ 1 Questions & Answers

Great question Julz. The stage 1 formula is a breast milk substitute, so suitable to provide the milk portion of babies diet through to 12 months and beyond, in the same way that breast milk is suitable. No milk will meet all of babies nutrition needs after 6 months and solid foods are needed to add energy and nutrition.
So... if baby is settled and doing well on stage 1 milk, there is no need to change to a stage 2 unless you are wanting to do this. Do please call or livechat us if you would like to talk this through (1800 438500 or www.nutriciacareline.com.au).

Hi Pre.K,
It is recommended that a prepared bottle should be consumed immediately within 1 hour. Please discard the contents of partially used bottles after an hour.
Thanks - Jenny, Nutricia Careline.

Hi Tash1984, When infant formula is mixed with water and shaken, a stable foam will form on top of the milk. Milk proteins are excellent in producing foam bubbles as they are surface active molecules by nature. Different formulas will create a different level of foam depending on the processing parameters during manufacturing i.e. especially heat treatment. The fat and proteins in the formula help to stabilise the foam (keep the bubbles from popping).
To minimise the froth we recommend adding the measured scoops to the water, then capping the bottle and rocking and swirling it to mix, rather than shaking it up and down. This produces less froth. If there is still powder that has not dissolved you can give the bottle a quick shake. You can follow this with another round of rocking and swirling to mix to reduce any bubbles that may have formed during the shaking.
If your baby does swallow some of the froth, make sure your baby is burped during and after the feed. Burping baby will bring up any air that baby may have swallowed.

Hi Tracey, We don't recommend premaking our formula and storing it. We follow the Australian Health Department Guidelines that state where you can you should make up formula straight before a feed. To make your life easier, you can measure out the cooled boiled water in your bottles and store them on the kitchen bench (they don't need to be refrigerated) and then just warm and add the powder as you need. Thank you for contacting us and if you need any other assistance, please contact us on our Careline on 1800 438 500 - Nutricia Careline

Hello Fi, The concern with warming the water in the microwave is that there can be hot patches in the water after heating. We just encourage that if you are going to use this form of heating that you shake the bottle after heating to disperse any hot spots. - Nutricia Careline
