Anti-Reflux
What is anti-reflux formula?
Anti-reflux (AR) formula is thickened — usually with natural carob (locust) bean gum — so it's heavier in the tummy and less likely to come back up. This can help babies who bring up milk frequently after feeds. HiPP Anti-Reflux is organic, made in Germany, and nutritionally complete.
When might anti-reflux formula help?
It's often chosen for babies who spit up or reflux frequently. Reflux is common and usually harmless, but if your baby is uncomfortable, not gaining weight, or you're unsure, please speak to your paediatrician or a healthcare professional before switching — they can confirm whether an anti-reflux formula is the right step.
Anti-Reflux vs Comfort vs Hypoallergenic
Different specialty formulas target different issues:
| Formula | Best for | Key feature |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-Reflux | Reflux and frequent spit-up | Thickened to stay down |
| Comfort | Colic, constipation, gas | Reduced lactose + hydrolysed protein |
| Hypoallergenic (HA) | Cow's milk protein allergy risk | Extensively hydrolysed protein |
How to prepare anti-reflux formula
Anti-reflux formula thickens once mixed, so follow the preparation instructions on the pack carefully (water temperature and teat size can differ from standard formula). If you have any questions, your healthcare professional can advise.
