Enfamil Pregestimil DHA and ARA Infant Formula with MCT Oil

Pregestimil is a specialized infant formula developed for babies who experience fat malabsorption and who may also be sensitive to intact milk proteins. Conditions such as cystic fibrosis, short bowel syndrome, intractable diarrhea, and severe protein-calorie malnutrition are commonly associated with impaired fat digestion and absorption, making carefully formulated nutrition essential. This advanced formula incorporates extensively hydrolyzed casein proteins along with a high proportion of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil) to support nutrient utilization and digestive tolerance in infants with gastrointestinal challenges.

Features

• Lactose-free
• Volume: 1 lb.
• Flavor: Unflavored

Pregestimil contains 55% of the fat from MCT oil, which is easily absorbed by babies with some GI problems.

• Hypoallergenic protein source made from extensively hydrolyzed casein.
• Designed for infants with fat malabsorption concerns and sensitivity to intact milk proteins.

Has DHA and ARA, important nutrients also found in breast milk, that support brain and eye development.

Long-term Usage Guidelines

Pregestimil is designed to serve as the sole source of nutrition for infants up to age 6 months and to provide a major source of nutrition through 12 months of age. In typical feeding patterns, the gradual introduction of solid foods after 4–6 months of age remains an important developmental and nutritional milestone.

In cases involving chronic malabsorption disorders, Pregestimil may be continued as a milk substitute beyond the first year of life under medical supervision. Such ongoing use can contribute to maintaining nutritional status in pediatric patients, provided that total dietary calcium intake is assessed when the formula replaces standard milk sources.

Extended use of Pregestimil or similar specialized infant formulas as a sole dietary source should always be monitored individually by physicians and registered nutrition professionals.

Dilutions And Preparation

A baby’s health depends on carefully following the instructions below. Use only as directed by a medical professional. Improper hygiene, preparation, use, or storage may result in severe harm. Powdered infant formulas are not sterile and should not be fed to premature infants or infants who might have immune problems unless directed and supervised by a doctor. Discuss with parents which formula is appropriate for the baby.

Discuss with parents whether they need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing and whether they need to boil clean utensils, bottles, and nipples in water before use.

WARNING: Do not use a microwave oven to warm formula. Serious burns may result
