HiPP Combiotic Anti-Reflux formula is suitable from birth onwards. This specialty formula is for children who experience discomfort from severe reflux and regurgitation. It is a gentle, nutritionally complete, thickened formula that can be used to alleviate the discomfort of digestive issues. The addition of carob bean gum, which has naturally thickening elements, allows the formula to thicken in the bottle and in turn helps to keep the feed down. It is not uncommon for babies to experience small amounts of spit up after feedings. Under medical supervision, this formula is suitable for use from birth onwards as the sole source of nutrition or as part of a weaning diet from 6 months for your baby. If parents believe their baby suffers from severe or more than occasional reflux, please seek advice from a medical healthcare professional before beginning this formula. HiPP AR formula has everything necessary for a baby’s development, such as Vitamins A, C and D. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone growth. Omega 3 & 6 LCPs, found in breast milk, are also added to the formula. Omega 3 & 6 LCPs are long chains of polyunsaturated fatty acids that help babies with brain and eye development.
HiPP is a family owned business that has been bringing the best organic baby food to families for 60 years. They have 8,000 carefully selected farms and 57 countries worldwide that sell their products. HiPP farmers do not use any artificial fertilizers, instead they run regular crop rotations and use natural pest controllers such as, hedgehogs, owls and hawks, rather than harmful chemical sprays. Their animals live healthy and happy lives with their strict species-appropriate livestock farming ways, without the need for growth hormones or other drugs. They allow their animals to roam freely in the open air and woods to graze and enjoy organic food themselves. This also helps biodiversity and natural forest cycles. Every step of the process from the seedlings that come from organic nurseries to the organic soil they are planted in and grown on, all the way to production, all adhere to strict organic guidelines that are checked at every step.
