FAQ
What makes Enfamil Gentlease different from regular formula?
It uses partially hydrolyzed whey protein, which is broken down into smaller, easier-to-digest pieces, and has reduced lactose to help with fussiness and gas.
Can I use this formula for a healthy baby without digestive issues?
Yes, it provides complete nutrition, but it's specifically formulated for sensitive tummies. A standard infant formula is typically recommended for healthy infants unless otherwise directed by a doctor.
How should I store the prepared formula?
Feed immediately or cover and refrigerate at 35-40°F (2-4°C) for up to 24 hours. Discard any formula left in the bottle after 1 hour of feeding.
