FAQ
How do you prepare this formula?
It must be mixed with clean water before feeding. The standard ratio is typically one part concentrate to one part water, but always follow the specific instructions on the label for your infant's age.
Why is it sold as a concentrate?
Liquid concentrate is more shelf-stable than ready-to-feed formula and uses less packaging, making it a more economical and environmentally friendly option for many families.
Is the sugar content too high?
The sugar listed is primarily lactose, the natural milk sugar found in breast milk, which is a key energy source for infants. It is formulated to meet their nutritional needs.
