OPTILAIT-1 BABY MILK (PWD) 30g

FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Optilait-1 Baby Milk (PWD) 30g is a powdered first-stage infant formula intended for babies from birth. The 30g pack provides a convenient quantity of infant formula for situations where a smaller pack is preferred.

Infant formula can provide an alternative source of nutrition when formula feeding is chosen or recommended. Breast milk is the recommended food for babies, particularly during the first six months of life. Parents and caregivers who are considering or using infant formula should follow appropriate infant-feeding guidance.

Optilait-1 is intended for the early stage of infant feeding and is different from follow-on formulas designed for older babies.

Nutritional support during early infancy

Infant formulas provide a combination of nutrients needed during early growth, including protein, fats and carbohydrates, together with vitamins and minerals.

These nutrients provide energy and nutritional support for normal growth and development. The formula must be prepared according to the instructions provided on the packaging because changing the recommended concentration can affect the amount of nutrients and water provided to the baby.

Who is Optilait-1 suitable for?

Optilait-1 is intended for infants from birth.

It is a first-stage formula and should not be confused with follow-on formulas intended for older babies. As the baby grows and reaches the stage when complementary foods are introduced, parents or caregivers should follow appropriate age-specific feeding guidance.

If a baby has a known or suspected cow's milk allergy, persistent digestive symptoms, feeding difficulties, poor weight gain or another condition affecting nutrition, consult a qualified healthcare professional before introducing or changing formula.

Hygiene and feeding

Powdered infant formula is not sterile, so careful preparation and hygiene are important. Always wash your hands before preparing feeds and clean feeding equipment thoroughly after use.

Prepare feeds according to the recommended instructions and avoid keeping prepared formula for longer than advised.

Parents and caregivers should monitor the baby's feeding, growth and general wellbeing. Seek professional advice if there are concerns about feeding or the baby's nutritional intake.

Storage

Keep the unopened 30g pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and moisture.

Check the expiry date before use and do not use the product if the packaging is damaged or the powder appears damp or contaminated.

If the product is supplied in a single-use sachet or other small pack, use it according to the instructions on the packaging and avoid using any remaining powder that has been improperly stored or exposed to contamination.

Important considerations

Optilait-1 is an infant formula intended for babies from birth. It should be used according to appropriate infant-feeding guidance and the preparation instructions on the pack.

If you are unsure whether formula feeding is appropriate for your baby, or if your baby develops persistent feeding or digestive problems, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
