reduce the frequency and volume of regurgitation.

gum remains thick in the mouth & continues to thicken in the stomach.

saliva and more quickly in the stomach.

regurgitation.1

specialised feed. Please consult your healthcare professional before using to
ensure it is the most appropriate formula for your baby.
