FAQ
Can I use tap water to mix the formula?
The product description specifies 'made with bottled water.' For infants, using safe, purified bottled water or properly sterilized/boiled and cooled tap water is generally recommended to avoid contaminants.
How does the sugar content compare to breast milk?
The primary sugar is lactose, which is also the main carbohydrate in human breast milk. The 7.38g per 100g of prepared formula is within the typical range for infant formulas.
Is this formula suitable for newborns?
Enfamil Infant is designed for babies 0-12 months. However, always follow a pediatrician's guidance, especially for newborns or infants with specific health needs.
