Hi , what is the difference between profutura 1 and Essensis ?
Dear Aptamil Customer Service,
I have tried 'live chat' multiple times on your website (on the time you specified 9.30am-5pm) but it was always unavailable, and I've sent quite a few emails but received no replies. I have a few concerns regarding Profutura 1's ingredients, which are not specified on the can. I will need to be sure that Profutura is up to the standards then feed it to my girls. If you can clear my worries, please do so.
1. What’s the source of ARA? I don’t seem to find ARA in the ingredient list though you labeled it under the 'nutrition information'.
2. What’s the percentage of lactose in Carbohydrate? If it’s not 100% lactose, what’s the substitute that Aptamil is using? Is it maltodextrin? Flour? Glucose?
3. What does your first ingredient ‘milk solids’ contain? Is Profutro using milk powder or fresh milk? Skimmed or full cream?
4. For ‘vegetable oils’, are you using anything other than soy lecithin? Such as soybean oil? Coconut oil? Palm oil?
5. Is Aptamil formula tested for heavy metals or toxins?
You answers will be very much appreciated as it has been quite frustrated for me to find the right formula for my girls.

Hi can Aptamil Profutura 1 give a 3 month old cramps in the stomach and gas. She seems to have quite a bit since fully going on the formula

My bub is almost 6 month old and has no issues on aptamil profutura 1 ..... do I have to change to #2?
I don't know if it is essential, but I guess formula in different stages provide different nutrition, even different amount for the same nutrition. I always change to another stage. I hope it helps.
Hi Rebekka, thank you for your enquiry. Some people choose to leave their babies on the stage 1 until they are 12 months, some choose to just wait until their babies are established on solids over 6 months and some change to the next stage at the corrected age of the baby. All this is perfectly fine, the stage 1 is fine to use til the 12 months. If you would like more information please call us on 1800 060 057.
Hi! I used to use aptamil gold + and have recently started to try aptamil profutura and was wondering why the water amounts are different. At 4 months the gold + says to give 5 scoops for 250ml whereas the profutura says to give a 4 month old 3 scoops at 150ml. Why is the amount less? Is this enough for her after he has been drinking 250ml?
good question
how many calories in Nutrica aptamil with Pronutra for a 3 year old?
number 3

Hi Tyler, the Aptamil Profutura and the Aptamil Gold + formulas are very similar but the main difference is that only the Profutura range contains added probiotics. You can see these on the ingredient list (Bifobacterium Breve). Please contact us on 1800 438 500 if you have more questions- Nutricia Careline
hi Stuart, Profutura 1 and Gold 1 contains the same amount of probiotics. I am feeding my baby with Gold 1 at the moment, and he is gassy and unsettled after each feed+Green poop, should i switch to Profutura 1 instead?
Hello. My baby is 7mo and i am using aptamil profutura. As i am out of Australia nowadays. And i brought maximum boxes with me. But i think they are going to be finish soon. And here aptamil pronutura is available only. What should i do ? Can i replace profutura with pronutura. Is there any difference between them?
Yes, you can. As you know there is a shortage of aptamil in australia i used to switch between these two. I used to buy whatever was available and had no issues. But now I am frustrated of searching aptamil on every shop i lnow as its very hard to find in Australia, Finally I started karicare which is available in all the shops and all the time on much reasonable price. Karicare is from the same company but different brand and my baby accepted karicare with no fuss.

Hi I am currently using aptamil Gold for my 10 week old baby and am moving to Ireland soon, however, they do not sell this there...what is the best to use there that is the most similar? They have aptamil and aptamil profutura?
Thanks.
As I could remember, they sell aptamil and profortura in Britain. I think the situation would be similar in Ireland.
Hi there, The Aptamil Gold+ in Australia is equivalent to the Aptamil range in Ireland. You can use the Aptamil First Milk. The Aptamil First Milk is made with locally sourced ingredients so may taste a little different from the the Australian Aptamil. You can mix the 2 together to transition from one to the other. Just make sure you use the correct water to scoop ratio for each one. You can find out more about the formulas in Ireland on the following website external link . Please give us a ring on our toll-free number 1800 438 500 and one of our product specialists will be able to assist you further. Thanks - Nutricia Careline
I hav just come back from Ireland yesterday! Before i left my baby was drinking Aptamil gold..You cannot get gold in Ireland but Aptamil first milk is the next best thing...my baby had no problem changing and i actually think its better than gold..he has less wind and his poo is a more normal color now!!
Hi please tell me what is the defrence between normal aptamil and profutera ?
Hi NDP, are you able to email us directly at enquiriesanz@danone.com and then we'd be more than happy to help. Thanks - Nutricia Careline
I brought this product today and it wouldn't even shake up properly ! What a waste of money! Now I need to find another Aptamil product that doesn't have the gold? My Daughter is getting bad constipation. We're having the De Lact right what one can we use without the GOLD in Aptamil range? Thanks

My baby has been on Aptamil Good since birth and mix fed. We tried Profutura in week 2 as she was struggling when passing a bowel movement and it was a lot better. This is our third tin of Profutura And now she's pooing every feed (even during a feed) and it's mucusy and stretchy. Has this happened to anyone else?
Hi Blue2016, Sorry to hear that your baby has mucus in her poos after using the Profutura. Please discuss this with your doctor as this raises the possibility of allergy to the protein in the milk. If you would like to talk it through, please ring us on our toll-free number 1800 225 575 and one of our dietitians or nutritionists will be happy to assist you. Thanks - Profutura Careline.
My baby has a reflux and Aptamil AR helps her here, but she doesn't like the taste of it. Can I mix Aptamil AR and Profutura? Let's say 2 + 3 spoons?
Hello,

Hello! I interested to know please, what was the care lines answer??? Thank you :)
Hi there. My baby is 20 days old and i bought an aptamil profutura. Is it good or aptamil gold 1 is good? Please tell me the difference. My id is ( sandy.ss679@gmail.com).
Thanks
Hey Sandy, Being a new mum is hard! Trying to work out formulas is even harder! We started on S26 which we quickly changed to Aptimal Allerpro cause I was told by the chemist it was the best.. little did I know it was the best they had there! So I went to the Aptimal Profuture.. and it was great for awhile then I think I got a random batch and it was like I had a different baby.. so I have now gone to Karicare.. I think the Aptimal Profuture was just too rich for my baby! I know that sounds weird.. but I really did want to buy the best for her.. I just think it was too heavy on her tummy! There isn't much difference between the Aptimal ProFutura and the Gold 1.. except for $5 in price!
Hope this helps!
Kaylah
To be honest I was advice to not buy anything with gold in it as it has extra things that baby might not be able to digest properly. S26 has everything baby needs. All other formulas made my girl ill :(

Is it okay if I mix profutura and pronutra(step 1) for feeding? I got both to see which one fits well on my baby but I accidently opened both formulars. I have no idea which one I should feed first or if It's okay to mix. And what is key difference between profutura and pronutra? Please help!
Hi Ako, Please email us at advisorynz@nutricia.com and we'll be more than happy to answer all your questions. The answer is a bit long to write on here. Kind Regards - Aptamil Careline
Can any one tell me the difference between the aptamil gold plus from birth to 6 months and the aptamil pronutra from birth to 6 months?
im looking to change as traveling back to UK for few months and cant seem to find the gold sold anywhere only the pronutra but don't want to upset bubs tummy by changing straight away.
Hi Tyd, Aptamil Gold+ Pronutra and Aptamil Gold+ in Australia are the same product (Australian Aptamil Profutura is different). The name change occurred when we had a packaging change. Please send us an email when you're able and we can provide you with a lot more information around the UK equivalents and the best management for traveling (advisorynz@nutricia.com). Kind Regards - Aptamil Careline
