Have you tried NAN antireflux? We just have fond memories of him. The regurgitation was gone in just a couple of days. And no problems with the chair. Perhaps we had a mild form, but we ate for a month (or rather, we ate 30 ml before feeding), after which we calmly feed without fountains for the fifth month.

If you are spitting up, why are you giving your baby anti-colic formula? When spitting up, you need anti-reflux.

And we went to the usual mixture at seven months. the changeover to the conventional mixture was successful. Do not forget that the new mixture must be introduced gradually, precisely in order to see the reaction of the baby. So if you see that the usual mixture is not perceived very well, then maybe ...
Sometimes a breastfed baby has to be transferred to artificial or mixed feeding. There can be many reasons for this. Prolonged separation of mother and baby, mother's illness and antibiotics, lack and absence of breast milk force the use of milk formulas for feeding the child. Today the market offers various kinds and types of products. A special niche here is occupied by therapeutic and specialized nutrition, which include antireflux mixtures.
Anti-reflux mixtures are labeled “AR” and “AP” on the packaging and are used for the following problems:
- Frequent and profuse regurgitation;
- Nausea and gag reflex;
- Increased formation of gases and strong;
- Regular constipation;
- Dysfunction (impaired functioning) of the intestine.
Only a doctor can prescribe such food! Anti-reflux mixtures regulate intestinal motility and effectively eliminate digestive problems. In the article, we will take a closer look at when anti-reflux mixtures are needed for newborns. We will find out what kind of food to choose for the baby and how to give the anti-reflux mixture correctly.
Specificity of antireflux mixtures
Anti-reflux mixture is a special food for children who have problems with digestion, frequent spitting up and constipation. It reduces the likelihood of regurgitation and improves bowel function. Such mixtures have a thick consistency and contain locust bean gum or rice starch. Gum is a plant polysaccharide that swells in the baby's stomach, which relieves constipation and reduces regurgitation. And starch makes the milk composition thick.
Such nutrition is prescribed in addition to the main one, since often babies on artificial or mixed feeding face problems in digestion. It is often found among artificial people. Anti-reflux nutrition softens feces, improves bowel function and improves the well-being of the crumbs.
The mixture is also prescribed for profuse regurgitation. Regurgitation is a normal physiological process for newborn babies, which is associated with the characteristics of the body at this age. In this case, the baby regurgitates milk or mixture with air, which occurs spontaneously 10-30 minutes after feeding. The reason for this phenomenon is the failure and underdevelopment of the baby's digestive tract in the first months of life. Gradually, the body adapts to new conditions and regurgitation passes on its own.
Sometimes the baby can spit up a fountain. This is due to overeating or indigestion, in rare cases, the cause is a malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. If you observe a constant, be sure to contact your pediatrician!
In any case, before switching to anti-reflux mixtures, consult your doctor. This composition may not be suitable for the baby and only exacerbate the problem or cause allergies. If the specialist has prescribed therapeutic nutrition, let's look at how to properly give the mixture to the child.
How to prepare and give anti-reflux mixture
- A mixture with gum is given as supplementary nutrition for a limited period of two to three months. During this time, they will provide the desired effect;
- A mixture with starch can be given as the main food throughout the year;
- When preparing, do not mix the anti-reflux mixture with the main one and use a separate bottle for feeding;
- The milk composition is diluted with boiled warm water at a temperature of 35-40 degrees according to the instructions on the package. Make sure that the consistency is homogeneous and without lumps;
- It is advisable to prepare the mixture anew before each meal. In exceptional cases, prepared meals can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and heated only in hot water or in a water bath;
- If you are using the formula as a supplementary food, feed your baby before the main feeding;
- The dosage is prescribed by the doctor depending on the baby's health, growth characteristics and nutritional needs. As a rule, the norm is 30-60 ml at a time;
- If you want to keep breastfeeding, feed your baby with a teaspoon and don't use a pacifier. Otherwise, the baby quickly gets used to such conditions in the future;
- When buying, study the composition and expiration date, check the integrity of the package and the compliance of nutrition with the age of the baby;
- Choose safe formulations that do not contain GMOs, colors, preservatives, palm oil or other chemicals. In the first six months, it is advisable to take gluten-free mixtures;

The good therapeutic effect of antireflux mixtures is due to the presence in their composition of a component that gives the food a thick consistency (carob flour or starch).
Your pediatrician will tell you how to feed an anti-reflux formula. Our employees will introduce you to the assortment of mixtures in our online market "Daughters-Sonochki".
How to give anti-reflux mixture correctly
A mixture with thickening natural dietary fibers is prepared separately from the main feeding, so it is recommended to prepare a second bottle for it. The therapeutic mixture should be diluted in warm boiled water and offered to drink to the child not after, but before each feeding.
How much to give the anti-reflux mixture depends on the portion of the main food. A mixture based on locust bean gum or with the addition of a polysaccharide is given in a dosage of 30-60 ml at a time.
Antireflux mixture has indications for use in the following cases:
- with frequent regurgitation;
- activation of the gag reflex;
- with intestinal colic;
- increased flatulence;
- in case of persistent constipation and bowel dysfunction.
Carob gluten thickens directly in the intestines of the child under the influence of an acidic environment. Starch initially guarantees a thick consistency of nutrition.
Important!
For an effective effect on the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, antireflux mixtures must be diluted with water, the temperature of which is 35-40°C.
How much anti-reflux mixture can you eat
Gum of natural origin is a poorly digestible dietary fiber that prevents the absorption of beneficial trace elements in case of an overdose. Therefore, it is not recommended to feed the baby with a mixture based on this supplement for more than 3 months. For two to three months, such therapeutic nutrition provides the expected anti-reflux effect without causing any harm to the baby's body.
Infant formulas with the addition of starch can completely replace the main food of a formula-fed child. With such anti-reflux starch mixtures, the baby can be fed throughout the year.
In our online store you can choose an anti-reflux mixture both based on natural gum (from the manufacturers Nutrilak, Bellakt, Hipp, Humana, Similac, Grandmother's Basket) and with a polysaccharide (from the Nestle Nan brand).
| Thickener type | Mixture names | Indications for use |
|---|---|---|
| Natural gum (Use period - 3 months) | Nutrilak Premium Antireflux | With regurgitation, constipation, colic. Additionally strengthens the immune system, develops vision |
| Similac Antireflux | To reduce the frequency of regurgitation and comfortable digestion. Promotes the development of immunity | |
| "Grandmother's basket AR" | With profuse regurgitation, constipation | |

Mixtures of antireflux action in a volume of 30-60 ml are able to regulate the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, activate intestinal motility and soften feces. This explains the feasibility of using this food to effectively eliminate gastrointestinal problems.
conclusions

For every newborn baby, regurgitation is considered a normal physiological phenomenon. A small amount of stomach contents in this condition enters the esophagus and oral cavity. You can fight this problem with the help of special ones. Many parents prefer the NAN Antireflux mixture. Let us consider in more detail the advantage of this product and its analogues.
Why do babies vomit?
Infants up to about 4-5 months suffer from such a phenomenon as regurgitation. This is an involuntary process in which part of the contents of the stomach is thrown into the upper sections of the alimentary tract. There is a similar phenomenon even in completely healthy babies. Most often, the reason lies in the imperfection of the digestive system. The esophagus in newborns is small, and the stomach is generally located vertically. With the contraction of the circular muscle located between the esophagus and stomach, the child begins to burp.
One of the reasons that can provoke the phenomenon is also considered the swallowing of air during the feeding period. Moreover, this occurs both with breastfeeding and with artificial feeding. Spitting up can be caused by eating more food than a baby needs at a certain age. This problem is especially relevant for children who eat formula milk.
Constant regurgitation can indicate serious disorders in the body of the crumbs: increased intracranial pressure, pathologies of the digestive tract and nervous system.
How to help?
If the baby is bottle-fed and suffers from regurgitation, first of all, it is necessary to choose the right milk formula. Baby food manufacturers offer a special line of products for babies with this problem. Such mixtures are called antireflux. They belong to clinical nutrition and therefore cannot be used as the main food of a child.
The adapted one has a thicker consistency, which allows it to "linger" in the child's stomach. Only a pediatrician can prescribe such nutrition to a newborn. The doctor determines the feeding scheme. On an ongoing basis, such milk nutrition should not be given to a child.
Popular Blends
If for some reason the baby cannot receive breast milk, it is important to choose the right substitute for him. Currently, manufacturers of artificial mixtures offer a wide range of products. It can be very difficult to choose from such a huge assortment.
It should be borne in mind that the best is the one that was prescribed by the doctor. However, parents often face the fact that the baby simply refuses such a product or starts spitting up more often. The latter can be eliminated only with the help of antireflux mixtures:
- "Nutrilak-AR".
- "NAS Antireflux".
- Nutrilon Antireflux.
- "Hipp Antireflux".
- "Humana AR".
- BelLakt AR.
- Frisovoy 1.
- "Grandma's Basket Antireflux"
What is the difference?
In most products, whey proteins predominate over casein, as in breast milk (the exception is Nutrilak-AR). All mixtures are classified depending on the type of thickener. Some contain locust bean gum, others contain starch. These substances are used as a thickener.
It is a natural polysaccharide that is not digested in the stomach. The substance contributes to the speedy entry of the contents of the stomach into the intestines, where it begins to split. Locust bean gum is a good probiotic and is effective in relieving constipation.
The starch in the composition delays the contents in the stomach, keeping the baby feeling full. It should be borne in mind that such mixtures can cause bowel problems in newborns.
Milk formula "Nan Antireflux"
The composition of this product includes lactose, potato starch, vegetable oils, hydrolyzed (partially) whey protein, magnesium and calcium chloride, taurine, iron and zinc sulfate, nucleotides and other useful substances. The manufacturer has created a unique mixture for babies who need special dietary nutrition. In this case, the child's body will receive all the necessary components for full development.
Most parents note that the dairy product really helped save the baby from spitting up and improve digestion. Nestle NAN Antireflux Mixture should be used with other foods or while breastfeeding.
How to mix properly?
Parents should remember that mixtures marked AR are therapeutic. It is forbidden to give a newborn baby only such food. In addition to antireflux, the child should also receive a normal mixture. Dairy foods containing starch are usually given to children with normal stools. Spitting up should be infrequent. Duration of application - at least 30 days.
If the baby is artificially fed, one feeding with a regular mixture is replaced with "NAN Antireflux". At the same time, doctors also recommend supplementing the baby with water. Food should be used with caution during breastfeeding. To make regurgitation less disturbing for the baby, 10-20 ml of the mixture should be given before feeding.
In the event that the child does not stop regurgitation or begins to repeat more often, you need to choose a different mixture.
Formulas for premature babies
Babies born prematurely need special care and nutrition. A special formula for premature babies can meet the needs of special babies. Such products have the maximum similarity with mother's milk, but at the same time contain more nutrients and have a minimal burden on the immature digestive system.
Mixtures for small and premature babies are more high in calories. In their composition, the content of easily digestible protein and fats is increased, the amount of lactose is reduced. As additional components, baby food is enriched with glucose, maltodextrin, taurine, and nucleotides. Contains more vitamins and minerals.
"NAN Pre"
Experts call Nestle NANPre one of the best mixtures for babies with low weight. The product contains an increased amount of whey protein (about 70%). In addition, the mixture is enriched with various substances useful for crumbs. As a substitute for starch, the manufacturer uses maltodextrin, a substance obtained as a result of the breakdown of vegetable starch. For premature babies, this component is much more useful.
Please note that the product is not suitable for babies suffering from galactosemia, cow's milk protein allergy or glucose-galactose intolerance.
Application methods
They begin to use even in a hospital or maternity ward. To do this, it can be administered through a probe or given to the baby from a bottle. When choosing a dairy product, the weight of the child is taken into account. The mixture "NAN Pre" is suitable for children weighing from 1800g. If the child weighs less, Nutrilon Pre 0, Friso Pre or Similak Special Care should be added to the diet.
If, against the background of the introduction of the mixture, there are problems with the gastrointestinal tract (constipation, colic), it is necessary to choose another product. The best formula for an underweight newborn will be one that does not interfere with normal digestion and allows you to confidently gain weight.
