Novalac AR Plus 400g is a thickened anti-regurgitation infant formula designed for babies aged 0 to 1 year who experience frequent or severe regurgitation and gastro-oesophageal reflux. It features the PAX innovation, a triple-thickener blend that stays fluid in the bottle and thickens once it reaches the stomach, helping to reduce spit-up while providing complete, balanced nutrition for healthy growth.

Why It Helps with Regurgitation

This formula is engineered to thicken inside the baby's stomach rather than in the bottle, so it stays easy to drink through the teat and then becomes denser after feeding to help keep milk down. The PAX innovation combines starch and food fibres to help reduce regurgitation with or without reflux, an approach supported by the brand's SONAR clinical study. It is nutritionally complete and can replace a regular formula when used as advised.

How to Prepare

Always prepare each bottle fresh, just before feeding:

1. Wash your hands and sterilise the bottle, teat, and all utensils.

2. Boil low-mineral water for 5 minutes and let it cool to about 40 degrees C.

3. Pour the required amount of water into the sterilised bottle.

4. Add the exact number of level scoops using only the scoop provided, following the feeding guide.

5. Close and shake until fully dissolved, then cool to about 37 degrees C and check the temperature on your wrist before feeding.

Safety Information

Breast milk is the best food for your baby. Use an infant formula only on the advice of a doctor, pharmacist, or healthcare professional, and use Novalac AR Plus under medical supervision for infants with the symptoms it is intended for. Do not change the formula or alter the powder-to-water proportions except on medical advice, as incorrect preparation can be harmful. Feed within one hour of preparation and discard any unused formula. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or changing your baby's feeding.

Key components of this anti-regurgitation formula include:

• PAX triple-thickener blend (pectin, locust bean gum, and tapioca starch): works together to reduce regurgitation and help regulate stool consistency

• DHA and ARA: fatty acids that support normal brain and visual development

• Iron, vitamins, and minerals: a balanced blend that supports growth, immune defence, and energy metabolism

The thickened formula may naturally show small dark particles from locust bean gum or white clumps of dietary fibre, which is normal for this type of product.
