Alfamino® is an amino acid based infant formula specifically formulated for infants (0-12 months) with severe cow’s milk protein allergy, eosinophilic oesophagitis, intestinal malabsorption and/or multiple food intolerances. 

Alfamino® is nutritionally complete and suitable as a sole source of nutrition from birth or supplementary feeding from 6 months of age to support healthy growth and development in formula fed infants.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Breast milk is best for babies and provides ideal nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. Introducing partial bottle feeding could negatively affect breastfeeding and reversing a decision not to breastfeed is difficult. Professional advice should be followed on infant feeding. Infant formula should be prepared and used exactly as directed or it could pose a health hazard. The preparation requirements and weekly cost of providing infant formula until 12 month of age should be considered before making a decision to formula feed.

Mothers should be encouraged to continue breastfeeding even when their infants have cow’s milk protein allergy.

If a decision to use an infant formula for special dietary use is taken, it must be used under medical supervision.

ALFAMINO® is an Infant Formula Product for Special Dietary Use. Products are not suitable for general use. Infants over 6 months should be offered foods in addition to the Infant Formula Product.
