Aptamil powder formula grainy
Show your support
Hey! Exactly how are you making the bottle? Are you letting the kettle water cook down to between 70-80 degrees before mixing it into the powder? X
I had the same problem with aptamil my LB was being sick after and the sick was still grainy so I switched to sma. I was making it using the baby brezza though so thought it was something to do with that
I found this when the water was too hot, if you boil the kettle and wait for a little bit (not too long obviously) and then try again I found this worked x
My daughters are on Neocate, and their milk is normally fine, but recently, we've had a batch that's grainy. It won't do any harm, just a little grainy x
@Amanda hiya, I am waiting between 20 and 25 mins before pouring the water from the kettle. That’s what I was doing from the last tub and it wasn’t going grainy. Do you think I need to wait the full 30 mins? X
@Naomi thanks. I’ve only given him one grainy one as was really unsure about it. Haven’t had any sickness from it. Don’t want to switch if I don’t have to as I know it can take a while for babies to adjust
Are you shaking the bottle, I know some people like to swirl to avoid bubbles but then I find it doesn’t actually mix properly unless yous shake the bottle.
@Lucy yes wait the full 30 mins x
My boy is prescribed Aptmil pepti 1 and this happens sometimes too. We also use the kettle. It’s recommended to wait no longer than 20 minutes, is what the health visitor told us. But at night I put it into a flask that keeps it hot all night and use it that way x
I can see your using infacol too, I usually put a couple of drops of that in the milk (stops it getting foamy) and give it a good shake (like a cocktail!) and it should make it less grainy as it’ll dissolve better.
@Nadiah do you put the infacol in right after the powder, before shaking?
@Shannon I was originally swirling but tried giving it a good shake and was still getting grainy bits
@Lucy I put it in after I’ve added both the powder and water x
@Kas do you just put the hot water into a flask? I was thinking about doing that as sometimes we can’t wait 30 mins

@Nadiah brill thanks. Will try give that a go x
My boy has been on aptamil for 10 months now, some bottles are like this, done smell a bit strange and others seem completely normal… he’s drank them all and not shown any disliking to them or had sickness. If it’s in date, not been open for more than 4 weeks and been prepared properly then I really wouldn’t worry x
