Picot AR 1er âge is a carob-thickened infant formula designed to reduce spitting up in infants aged 0 to 6 months. Rich in DHA, it supports your baby’s brain development. Use under medical supervision.
Spitting up and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are common issues in infants. Their digestive tracts, which are still developing, sometimes have trouble keeping milk down after a feeding. Picot AR Stage 1 is an infant formula specially designed to reduce spitting up, thanks to a texture thickened with carob. This natural thickener aids digestion while ensuring proper absorption of essential nutrients.
In addition to its anti-regurgitation properties, this infant formula provides essential fatty acids, including DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). This nutrient plays a key role in an infant’s brain and visual development. It is also recommended by infant nutrition experts to support growth and the maturation of cognitive functions.
The causes of reflux in babies are often multifactorial. Prolonged lying down, a weak esophageal sphincter, and a diet consisting solely of liquids are all factors that contribute to these issues. By thickening the milk in the stomach, Picot AR 1st Age helps reduce spitting up while being gentle on the infant’s delicate digestive system.
Carob, a key ingredient in this formula, is a plant-based thickener particularly well-suited for infant nutrition. Unlike starches, it thickens the milk immediately upon preparation, making it easier to feed. However, it is recommended to use a nipple suited to the milk’s thicker texture.
In accordance with recommendations from healthcare professionals, Picot AR Stage 1 can be used as the sole source of nutrition during the first six months of life. It meets the infant’s nutritional needs by providing the proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals necessary for healthy growth. However, this formula is not suitable for babies who are allergic to cow’s milk protein.
In addition to the benefits of this product, Novalac AR+ Anti-Regurgitation Infant Formula for the First Stage, 800 g, may be a worthwhile alternative; it is also enriched with natural thickening agents to help reduce regurgitation in infants.
Preparing the Bottle
Mandatory dosage: one level scoop (4.5 g) per 30 ml of water. The volume and number of bottles may be adjusted by a doctor according to the infant’s needs.
