APTAMIL COMFORT 400G SOFT PACK

Manufacturer & Brand

• Nutricia International B.V.—a Danone S.A. subsidiary—is the manufacturer of Aptamil products, including the Comfort line 

• The formula is typically produced in European facilities (such as Poland) and imported into regions like Pakistan, the Middle East, and others 

 Uses & Target Age

• Aptamil Comfort is a food for special medical purposes, intended for the dietary management of colic and constipation in infants 

• It is nutritionally complete, suitable as a sole source of nutrition from birth to 6 months, and usable alongside weaning foods from 6 to 12 months 

 Key Ingredients & Benefits

Aptamil Comfort formula includes a specific blend of components formulated to support sensitive digestive systems:

• Partially hydrolysed whey protein — easier to digest, speeds up gastrointestinal transit, reduces constipation risk

• Tailored fat blend high in β‑palmitate — improves calcium and fat absorption and promotes softer stools

• Prebiotics (scGOS:lcFOS, 9:1 ratio) — supports beneficial gut bacteria growth and helps ease symptoms of colic and flatulence

• Reduced lactose content — may help infants with mild lactose sensitivity, lowering flatulence and abdominal discomfort 

• Added starch — thickens the formula to better match breast milk consistency and reduce reflux risk

Clinical studies involving infants under 3 months showed:

• Reduced crying and abdominal distress as early as 1 week.

• Relief from constipation and softer stool consistency.

• Increased beneficial gut bacteria levels.

• High satisfaction among parents and pediatricians (~91–95%) 

 Possible Side Effects & Considerations

• Not suitable for infants with diagnosed cow’s milk protein allergy or true lactose intolerance—despite reduced lactose, it still contains milk proteins and some lactose. In such cases, hypoallergenic or lactose-free formulas (e.g., Aptamil Pepti) may be needed under medical advice

• Some babies may not benefit—there are reports where Aptamil Comfort worsened reflux or didn’t relieve colic symptoms. Every infant responds differently, and success varies by individual case

• Possible stool changes — thicker, greyer, or greener stools can be normal but should be monitored. If persistent or concerning, consult a pediatrician
