About this deal
When we talk about formula milk, we are talking about baby formula or infant formula. It is gotten from cows’ milk that must have been treated to ensure that your baby’s health is not jeopardized after consuming it.
The instructions for making up anti-reflux formulas may be different to standard formula. The usual guidelines for how to make up baby formula recommend using boiled water that has stood for no more than 30 minutes, so that the temperature is still above 70C. Whilst this product is made under strict hygienic conditions, it is not sterile. Failure to follow instructions on preparation and storage may make your baby ill. Moro G, et al.

Do not add extra powder or water to make the feeds stronger or weaker and do not press powder into scoop. Using too much or too little powder can make your baby ill. We recommend preparing each feed in individual bottles when required. For hygienic reasons, discard unfinished feed in the bottle as soon as possible. For older babies, made-up formulae can be added to food.In Transition: This product is currently in a transitional period from the old SMA Comfort to the new SMA Colic & Constipation as shown.
