For the dietary management of preterm infants with very low body weight (< 1,000 g) whose protein requirements cannot be met by conventional preterm infant formulae or products.

Characteristics

• As a supplement to fortified breast milk (with a breast milk supplement, e.g. Aptamil FMS) or preterm infant formula (e.g. Aptamil Prematil or Aptamil Prematil HA), to meet the higher protein requirements of very low birth weight preterm infants (< 1,000 g) and thereby support adequate growth and optimal development
• Hydrolysed protein 
• Whey protein : casein = 50 : 50 
• Nutrient ratio: protein : carbohydrates : fat : fibre = 97 : 3 : 0 : 0 (as a percentage of total energy)

Dosage form

Powder in single-serving sachets

Directions for use

As only small quantities are required, it is best to measure out the dose by weighing. A measuring spoon is therefore not included in the pack. For preterm infants < 1,000 g, a protein intake of 3.6–4.1 g/100 kcal (ESPGHAN 2010) is recommended. When used with breast milk: If possible, determine the protein content of the breast milk* and add a breast milk supplement (e.g. Aptamil FMS) according to the instructions. Add the required amount of Aptamil Protein+ to achieve the recommended protein intake of 3.6–4.1 g/100 kcal. It is recommended that the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level be measured. *If the protein content of the breast milk cannot be measured, use the protein contents for breast milk from preterm infants or term breast milk as stated in the specialist literature. When used with preterm infant formula: Preterm infant formula contains approximately 3.3 g of protein per 100 kcal. To adjust the protein content, add 0.4–1.0 g of Aptamil Protein+ per 100 ml of formula to achieve the recommended protein intake of 3.6–4.1 g per 100 kcal. It is recommended that the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level be measured.
