As parents, the feeding choices you make for your child are yours to take. We know breast milk is the best and provides all benefits your baby needs in life. We also understand that for some parents breastfeeding isn’t always possible, either because they can’t or because they choose not to. That’s why we pride ourselves on supporting you, whatever feeding decision you make.

Aptamil Care Stage 1 and Stage 2 formulas provide 0.8 mg of iron/100 kcal (0.5 mg/100 ml).
This level of iron is appropriate for most babies and is consistent with European recommendations (EFSA, 2014; ESPGHAN CON 2014). For infants born prematurely, or with a low birthweight, with low iron levels at birth, or infants who are at risk for becoming iron deficient due to illness, additional iron may be necessary.
Consult your child’s pediatrician for more information.

Labels in Europe instruct consumers to boil water. Consistent with that approach, the label for Aptamil recommends heating water first to 160°F (70°C) and letting it cool to approximately 100°F (40°C).
Wash your hands. Use only clean or sterilized containers to prepare the formula.
Boil drinking water and cool to ~100°F (40°C). Add the amount of water indicated in the table to the bottle.
Only dispense the formula with the provided scoop. Use the leveller on the inside of the box to level off the scoop. Add the exact amount of powder to the bottle.
Screw on the bottle top and, holding it upright, shake vigorously for 10 seconds or until the powder dissolves.
Check the temperature (should be ~98°F (37°C)). Storage conditions: close the packaging and store it in a cool and dry place (40-77°F (5-25°C)), but not in the refrigerator. Use the opened package within 4 weeks.
Your baby’s health depends on carefully following the preparation, use and storage instructions on the label. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe harm. Before preparing the infant formula, make sure to always wash your hands, and thoroughly wash bottle and feeding utensils in hot soapy water before each use. Ask your baby’s doctor about the need to boil or sterilize water for formula and the proper preparation of bottle and feeding utensils.
Warning: Do not use a microwave to prepare or warm formula, serious burns may occur. Do not freeze and avoid any extreme temperatures. Close the opened container tightly with the plastic lid. Do not reuse container. Do not use if inner or outer seal is damaged or missing.
