New preparation

Follow the instructions for use carefully when preparing infant formula. Improper preparation or storage of the prepared bottle for a longer period of time can lead to health problems, e.g. through the growth of undesirable germs. Therefore, prepare food fresh before each meal and feed immediately. Do not re-use food leftovers. Clean bottle, teat and ring thoroughly. Close the opened bag well after taking out the product, store it dry and at room temperature and use it up within 3 weeks. Do not heat the food in the microwave (risk of scalding).

1. Boil fresh drinking water and cool to approx. 40°-50°C*.
2. Put the desired amount of boiled water (see table) into a bottle.
3. Measure the recommended powder quantity (see table). Loosely fill measuring spoon and wipe off. Add powder to the water.
4. Close vial and shake vigorously several times.
5. Cool down to drinking temperature approx. 37°C. Check temperature

Tip: HiPP baby spring water - ideal for preparing milk feeds - even without boiling

*To avoid damaging the natural lactic acid cultures (lactobacilli), please do not prepare the food with water that is too hot.

Drinking quantity and dosage

The amount to be drunk per vial may vary from person to person, but the recommended amount to be drunk and the number of vials per day are guidelines. Your baby does not necessarily have to drink the bottle empty. Please use only the enclosed measuring spoon! 1 measuring spoonful corresponds to 30ml of water.

* Unless otherwise recommended by the doctor. ** From the 5th month on you can start with small glasses and paps in consultation with your pediatrician. Babies need about 5 meals a day. With each newly introduced glass and pap meal, one bottle meal should be eliminated.

When can the administration of the HiPP Anti-Reflux Organic Special Food be useful?

Many babies burp a little after a meal. This is perfectly normal and need not worry you as long as your little darling is well and growing and thriving. However, if your baby burps or spits up more and you are worried about him or her thriving, please contact your paediatrician. He can clarify whether a special food, such as HiPP Anti-Reflux Bio-Special Food, is sensible for your little one.

For which children is the HiPP Comfort special food intended?

The intestines of babies are still very sensitive in the first months. Therefore, gastrointestinal complaints such as flatulence, colic or constipation are not uncommon. Experience has shown that digestive complaints can be well managed through close proximity to your baby and rest during the day, abdominal massages and burping. Most of the time, these digestive problems resolve themselves. If you are constipated, you should make sure that the correct dosage of food is used. If

your baby

suffers

more from digestive disorders combined with excessive crying, a special diet can help to alleviate the symptoms. Due to its special composition, HiPP Comfort Special Food has a digestive-regulating and stool-loosening effect and can thus help with flatulence and constipation. Whether HiPP Comfort special food is sensible for your baby, you will find out after consulting your paediatrician. Special foods should only be given under medical supervision.

Are HiPP special foods suitable for children at risk of allergies?

Here, both HiPP special foods are to be considered differently:

• HiPP Comfort special food is suitable for the prevention of allergies due to its split protein components.

• The HiPP Anti-Reflux Organic Special Food is different. It contains an intact protein and should therefore not be used for babies at risk of allergies in the first half of life. According to official recommendations, babies with an increased allergy risk should only receive breast milk and/or hydrolysed (= split) protein for the first four to six months. Please discuss this situation and the procedure with your paediatrician.

My baby spits and has flatulence at the same time, which food is advisable?

If your child has digestive problems and spits more and more at the same time, you should definitely discuss this with your paediatrician. He knows your baby and can best assess and decide which diet is best for your child. Usually the more urgent problem is digestive problems. However, this must be decided on an individual basis.

Can I also combine HiPP special food with HiPP baby food?

Basically it is possible to feed HiPP special food together with HiPP baby food. Your paediatrician can decide whether this makes sense in individual cases and make a corresponding recommendation. It should be taken into account that the special composition of the respective foods will alleviate the symptoms of flatulence, constipation or increased spitting.

In case of a spitting child the particularly creamy HiPP anti-reflux bio special food reduces the backflow of food into the oesophagus. If a conventional baby food is used for the next meal, this effect is not given.
