Aptamil Pepti 1 From Birth Milk - 800g

Aptamil Pepti 1 From Birth Milk – 800g is a food for special medical purposes (FSMP) specifically formulated for the dietary management of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) in infants from birth onwards. It contains extensively hydrolysed proteins, where the whey has been broken down into smaller peptide fragments, reducing the likelihood of allergic reactions in infants who cannot tolerate intact cow’s milk proteins.

This formula is nutritionally complete when used as the sole source of nutrition or as part of a diet tailored by a healthcare professional. Aptamil Pepti 1 provides a balanced profile of carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals to support normal growth and development while helping manage allergic symptoms. It also includes a GOS/FOS prebiotic blend, which may contribute to a healthy gut environment.

This 800g pack size offers extended support for daily feeding requirements and is intended for use under medical supervision only.

Important: Use this product only on the advice of a healthcare professional and with full consideration of all feeding options, including breastfeeding if feasible.

Aptamil Pepti 1 is formulated to provide balanced nutrition for infants with CMPA.

Key components include:

• Hydrolysed whey protein — split into small peptides to help reduce allergenicity.
• Vegetable oils (rapeseed, sunflower, palm, coconut) — provide essential fats.
• Carbohydrate sources — such as lactose-free maltodextrin and glucose syrup.
• Prebiotic blend (GOS/FOS) — supports the gut microbiota.
• Vitamins and minerals — including vitamins A, D3, C, E, B complex, iron, calcium, phosphorus and more for complete nutrition.

Allergen information:

Contains hydrolysed milk protein components. Suitable for infants with CMPA when recommended by a healthcare professional. Always refer to product packaging for the most up-to-date ingredient list and allergen statements.

Important Medical Warnings:

• Medical supervision required: Aptamil Pepti 1 must be used on the advice of a healthcare professional after appropriate diagnosis of cow’s milk protein allergy.
• Not a breast-milk substitute unless advised: While nutritionally complete, breastfeeding is recommended where possible; discuss feeding options with a health visitor or GP.

Allergy advice:

• Despite extensive hydrolysis, some infants may still react; monitor for any signs of allergic response such as rashes, vomiting, diarrhoea or persistent fussiness. Seek medical advice if these occur.

Safety and Preparation:

• Follow strict hygiene and preparation guidelines to reduce microbial risks; powdered formulas are not sterile.
• Do not use feed warmed in a microwave oven — uneven heating may cause hot spots and scalding.
• After preparation, any unused feed should be discarded in line with medical guidance; do not save for later use.

Storage:

• Store unopened tins in a cool, dry place; do not refrigerate.
• Use contents within 4 weeks of opening.
