What if I choose to formula feed?
Formula provides the nutrients your baby needs for his normal growth and development. Formula feeding also allows Dad and other family members or friends to feed and bond with your baby, and for Mom to have a little break. And some parents just fe...Learn more
How are premature babies' nutritional needs different?
Premature babies are usually born with low birth weight. While in the hospital, they also tend to have more feeding challenges than full term babies, and generally need to eat more frequently. If you decide to formula feed, talk to your baby’s doctor about Enfamil A+® EnfaCare® infant formula with extra calories, protein, vitamins and minerals, for low birth weight or premature babies.
If the bottle has been in the refrigerator, run warm tap water over it or place the bottle in a pan of hot (not boiling) water. Shake the bottle occasionally while warming. Warming time should be less than 15 minutes. Test the formula temperature...Learn more
How can I keep my baby from spitting up after every meal?
If your baby seems to be spitting up excessively, ask your baby's doctor about thickened formulas created to help reduce spit up.....
What is the Difference Between Enfamil A+ NeuroPro, Enfamil A+ and Enfamil?
Enfamil A+® Neuropro, Enfamil A+® and Enfamil® are both cow’s milk-based, iron-fortified infant formulas for feeding babies from birth to 12 months of age.
Your newborn may drink anywhere from 2-3 fluid ounces of formula about every three hours. In general, your baby will take in what he needs to meet his body's demands. So don't be too concerned about fixed amounts....
How will I know when my baby is ready for solid foods?
Most babies are ready for solid foods when they're around 6 months old. Until then, your baby will get all the nutrients he needs from breast milk or infant formula.....
Yes. You need some, but too much can be toxic. The Institute of Medicine recommends that you get 770 µg of vitamin A per day while pregnant. More than 3000 µg per day while pregnant can increase the risk of birth defects. But rest assured that your balanced diet and daily multivitamin is not likely to give you more vitamin A than you need. Ask your doctor if you're concerned.
When changing formulas, we usually suggest switching directly over to the new formula, but your doctor is in the best position to guide you. A change in a baby's diet often requires an adjustment period that may result in slight changes in his or her digestive process. These changes could include stool pattern change, gas, and/or spitting up. Most babies adapt to their new diet within 3-5 days. Your baby's doctor is in the best position to answer your questions about any symptoms your baby may be experiencing.
What is gestational diabetes?
Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before, but who have high blood sugar (glucose) levels during pregnancy, are said to have gestational diabetes....
Now that my baby's a 1 year old, can he eat all foods?
Although most toddlers can eat from the family menu, there are still a few things to watch out for. Choking hazards, for one. Cut his food into small pieces (not round ones) to guard against choking. Make sure your baby is seated and supervised at all times while eating.
Start by talking to your baby's doctor. If these symptoms are due to cow's milk protein allergy, he may be able to suggest a specialty formula like Nutramigen® A+® with LGG®
Should I be getting extra vitamins in my diet during my pregnancy?
You and your baby need a full range of nutrients, including folic acid, iron and calcium. Plus, your baby is going to take all the nutrients he needs, even if it means putting you at a deficit. Starting even before you are pregnant, experts recommend taking a multivitamin that has 400 µg (0.4 mg) of folic acid to decrease the risk of neural tube defects. In addition, your daily multivitamin should also contain 16-20 mg of iron to help ensure you have a healthy pregnancy. Check with your doctor or dietitian to ensure that your multivitamin contains the right amount of iron for you.
Is it true that I need more protein in the second half of my pregnancy?
Very true. About 25 g more per day. Vegetarians combine complementary protein foods, such as beans and rice, to get the essential amino acids needed....
My baby is 2 months old and still not sleeping through the night. Would solid foods help?
There's no proof that solid foods help babies sleep through the night. What's more, experts do not recommend starting babies on solid foods until 6 months of age...
Cow’s milk lacks the proper amounts of iron that your baby needs to develop. Plus, it contains higher levels of proteins and some minerals that are not appropriate for baby. At 9-12 months, your baby may be ready to start drinking whole cows milk...
When should I give my baby Enfamil D-Vi-Sol (vitamin D supplement)?
The Canadian Paediatric Society, Dietitians of Canada and Health Canada recommend that all healthy term breastfed babies receive a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU. Since vitamin D is already added to infant formula, formula fed babies may be getting sufficient vitamin D. However, a baby will need to drink about 4 - 250 mL (8 fl oz) bottles of formula per day to get the recommended 400 IU of vitamin D....
There are so many different brands of formula. How do I choose a good one for my baby?
DHA is an important building block of your baby’s developing brain. DHA-enriched infant formulas are an easy way to give your baby DHA. In fact, 9 out of 10 doctors who would feed infant formula to their own children would use a DHA-enriched formu....
I'm a vegetarian. How can I be sure I'm getting the right nutrition for my baby?
You need to be sure you're getting enough iron, protein, vitamins D and B12 and calcium from your diet. Consult our Nutrient Guide to find some alternative sources for these important nutrients. Asking your doctor or dietitian about a vitamin supplement might be a good idea as well.
Does my baby need vitamin supplements?
Babies generally get all the nutrition they need with formula. If your baby is breastfed, the Dietitians of Canada, Health Canada and the Canadian Paediatric Society recommend giving her a vitamin D supplement, as breast milk typically has very low levels of this nutrient...
No. Re-warming formula increases the possibility of bacteria growth in the formula as it cools off after heating. Follow the formula preparation instructions on the label.
Stool colour may vary among babies on the same formula. In addition, the colour, number, and consistency of the stools of one baby may vary from time to time. Some mothers report that their babies have yellow or brown stools while other mothers say their babies have green stools. There is a normal tendency for babies on iron-fortified formulas to have more green stools. A baby’s stool colour will often change with a change in formula, or with the addition of new foods or medications.
How can I keep breastfeeding when I go back to work?
Many women manage the breastfeeding/working schedule with a little planning. Whether you go back to work full-time or part-time, you can develop a breastfeeding routine that works for you and your baby....
My nipples are so sore from breastfeeding my baby. What am I doing wrong?
Your baby may not be "latching on" correctly. "Latching on" refers to the way your baby attaches her mouth to your breast. If she has latched on properly, she'll get a good flow of milk, and you won't get sore nipples....
My 6 month old has been doing really well on formula from the start. Shouldn't she be ready for cow's milk?
No. The Canadian Paediatric Society, Dietitians of Canada and Health Canada recommend that you wait until your baby's is 9-12 months before giving her homogenized (3.25%) cow’s milk. Although milk is fine for older children, it doesn't meet the nutritional needs of your baby. For example, milk doesn't have the iron your baby needs.
My baby keeps grabbing food off my plate. Is she ready for solids?
Her eyes may be ready for solid foods, but her system is another story. Until about 6 months, most babies can only handle breast milk or formula. By around this time, your baby's chewing and swallowing abilities may be ready for some iron-fortified baby rice cereal. Until then, keep your dinner out of arm's reach.
My 3 year old son drinks 2% milk. Why does my 6 month old baby need so much more fat?
A baby’s brain more than doubles in size in the first year of life, and within the first 3 years of life 85% of brain growth has occurred. A baby’s brain contains Omega-3 fat and most of that fat is DHA, an important building block of your baby’s developing brain. That’s why DHA is important for your child early in life.
Breastfed babies tend to have more bowel movements and a greater range of stool patterns compared to formula fed babies. Breastfed babies also tend to have softer, looser stools than formula fed babies. Ask your baby's doctor if you have questions regarding your baby's stooling pattern. Now Enfamil A+® helps give baby softer stools, versus our previous formula.
I have small breasts. Can I produce enough milk for my baby?
Whether you're a B or a double D, it's possible to make enough milk to feed your baby. Nature designed a perfect supply-and-demand system. The more your baby stimulates your breasts by sucking, the more milk you'll produce. So even if your baby is in a growth spurt and nursing more often, your body will "keep up". Remember, mothers of twins and even triplets can have enough milk supply to breastfeed successfully.
Where can I purchase the Nursette bottles of formula (ready to feed bottles given in hospital)?
If you’re looking for a larger formula bottle for an older infant with a bigger appetite, Enfamil A+, Enfamil A+ Gentlease® (for tummy troubles) and Enfamil A+® 2 (for babies 6 months and older) are also available in 237mL ready to feed bottles.
My breastfed baby wants to nurse constantly. Where's the 4 hour schedule?
Your newborn's stomach is small. That's why many experts recommend feeding "on demand". At first, your newborn may breastfeed every 2-3 hours, or 8-12 times in a 24-hour period. If your newborn sleeps more than 3 hours between feedings, ask your baby's doctor about waking her to nurse. She needs the nourishment, and your breasts need the stimulation to continue to produce milk. By the way, the 4 hour schedule should arrive as your baby gets a little older.
How can I tell if she's getting enough to eat?
Ask yourself the following questions:
Is she gaining weight steadily? Your doctor can confirm this....
Refrigerated bottles stored at 2-4° C (35-40° F) made from powder are good for 24 hours. Ready-to-feed liquid or formula made from concentrate are good for 48 hours.
Is there a way I can breastfeed and formula feed, just for a little break?
Many women supplement their breastfeeding with formula now and then, or while they're at work. It's best to wait until your milk supply is established and your baby is comfortable with breastfeeding. A good time to start is when your baby's around 6 weeks old.
We do not recommend alternating formulas back and forth due to the adjustment period that some babies go through when the formula is changed. Most babies adapt to their new diet within 3-5 days. Most pediatricians do not recommend switching formula. We suggest that you check with your baby's doctor about any feeding questions or changes.
What formula should I use if my baby is fussy or gassy?
If you're formula feeding, ask your baby’s doctor about formula options.
How can I help with my baby's fussiness and gas?
Fussiness and/or excess gas can be caused by something you ate if you're nursing, or it could be a sign that your baby is temporarily having a hard time digesting lactose, a carbohydrate found in most milk-based formulas.
We are planning a trip. What is the best way to carry infant formula?
Keep bottles filled with prepared formula chilled in an insulated container with ice. For longer trips, pack additional cans of concentrated liquid or powdered formula. We also offer ready to feed convenience sizes of some of the formulas that you may find at your local store.
Is Enfamil A+ Gentlease available in liquid?
Yes, Enfamil A+ Gentlease® is available in both ready to feed and powder formats. It is not available in liquid concentrate.
How do I introduce solid foods?

Most infants accept the formula easily; some infants may take 3-5 days to become accustomed to the unusual taste. If this is your baby's first experience with the product, continue offering it as much as possible for several days. Sometimes, offering small, frequent feedings will help with this adjustment.

We would not expect your child to have an allergic reaction to the BIOPRO™ blend. When the formula is prepared according to the label instructions, we would expect an infant to accept and tolerate all formats equally. However, each baby is different and must be individually evaluated. Most babies adapt to their new diet within 3-5 days. Your baby's doctor is in the best position to answer your questions about any symptoms your baby may experience.
