What is Novalac AR+ Infant Formula for the First Stage of Life (Anti-Reflux) 800g used for?
Regurgitation is common in young babies and is usually not serious. It occurs because their digestive system is still immature. This is particularly true of the muscle that closes the opening between the esophagus and the stomach. Its role is to prevent stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus, but it does not yet function properly. As a result, stomach contents frequently flow back toward the mouth, causing regurgitation.
This condition is called gastroesophageal reflux (GER). It is the leading cause of regurgitation and vomiting in infants. As the child grows, spends more time sitting up, and begins eating solid foods, the regurgitation will decrease and eventually disappear completely around his or her first birthday. Until then, to reduce the frequency of regurgitation, it’s important to make sure the child isn’t eating too much or too quickly. Take breaks during feedings to allow your baby to burp. This will help them release the air that distends their stomach and contributes to gastroesophageal reflux.
An infant formula for the first stage, suitable for infants aged 0 to 6 months. It provides the essential nutrients for infant growth in cases of significant spitting up.
Novalac AR+ Stage 1 Anti-Regurgitation Infant Formula 800g is a dietary food specifically formulated to meet the nutritional needs of infants and young children experiencing severe regurgitation. It contains a complex of two natural thickeners (starch and carob) and pre-digested proteins, which help reduce persistent spitting up in babies. Novalac AR+ is not suitable for children with cow’s milk protein allergies.
We also recommend Novalac S 2 Age Follow-On Formula “Satiété” 800 g, a filling infant formula that can be given to your child as part of their daily diet if your baby is a “little glutton” who often asks for food, or simply for the evening bottle to help them sleep through the night.
