Aptamil Care Stage 2 Infant Formula for 6+ Months, DHA & ARA, No Palm Oil, 28.2 Ounces

Aptamil Care Stage 2 is specifically formulated for infants delivered via cesarean section. During vaginal birth, a newborn's immune system benefits from receiving Bifidobacteria breve (B. breve), which plays a crucial role in gut health. This bacterium is one of the most prevalent strains found in the intestines of healthy, breastfed infants born vaginally and is essential for immune system development. Aptamil’s unique infant formula is enriched with its patented probiotic B. breve M-16V, along with prebiotics GOS/FOS, to aid in immune support.

Additionally, the formula contains 2’FL HMO (human milk oligosaccharide), along with essential Vitamins C and D and DHA, which contribute to brain and eye development. These components, together with vital vitamins and minerals typically present in breast milk, create a nutritionally comprehensive and premium formula tailored for infants aged 0-12 months. Aptamil formulas are grounded in 50 years of research on breast milk and are developed by a dedicated team of experts who aim to provide optimal nutrition for your little one.

Aptamil Care Stage 2 baby formula delivers complete nutrition for babies. It is specially designed for those born via C-section and is suitable for babies from 6 months onward. A distinctive feature of Aptamil Care is its unique combination of dual prebiotics GOS/FOS and the probiotic B. breve M-16V. This blend helps to restore the gut microbiome of C-section-born infants, making it more similar to that of those born vaginally, thereby supporting their developing immune systems. Bifidobacteria breve (B. breve) is a naturally occurring culture that is typically found in healthy, breastfed babies.

Aptamil Care 2 also prioritizes brain and eye development through its expert-recommended inclusion of DHA. The formula's patented strain of probiotic B. breve M-16V, combined with dual prebiotics GOS/FOS and the 2’FL HMO, work synergistically to bolster the immune health of infants.
