Aptamil Pepti 2
Aptamil Pepti 2
Aptamil Pepti 2 is for the dietary management of cows’ milk allergy (CMA). Suitable at around 6 months to complement a cows’ milk-free weaning diet.
How it works
Aptamil Pepti 2 is similar in composition to our standard Follow On milk, 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 allergy?
CMA 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, CMA can be effectively managed and its impact reduced to a minimum.
If you think your child has a cows’ milk allergy, speak to your Healthcare Professional for advice.
What’s in Aptamil Pepti 2?
Aptamil Pepti 2 supports a restricted, cows’ milk-free weaning diet for babies over 6 months, and includes extra calcium, vitamin D and iron. It is also 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.
