Aptamil formula is calculated as 1 scoop is equal to 7.5 grams of powder.

1 scoop of Aptamil powder added to 50mL of water yields around 55mL of formula.

The Aptamil that is best for a premature baby is Aptamil PDF formula.

Aptamil PDF is a type of baby formula that is formulated and made specially to meet the increased needs of babies that are born premature and low in weight at birth when they are discharged from the hospital.

The PDF in Aptamil PDF stands for Post Discharge Formula.

Aptamil PDF formula is a special made baby formula designed for infants with conditions such as prematurity following hospital discharge.

The Aptamil PDF baby formula contains additional calories and protein to support growth and higher levels of some vitamins and minerals to meet the needs of premature infants and low birthweight babies when discharged from hospital.

Both Aptamil Profutura and Enfamil NeuroPro provide the necessary macro and micronutrients essential for infant growth, including protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

However, the specifics of their formulations differ significantly.

Aptamil is a milk-based, routine infant formula that is similar to products like Enfamil Premium and NeuroPro, Similac Advance and Pro-Advance and Gerber Good Start Gentle.

Because drinking cow's milk is not recommended for babies under 12 months of age, Aptamil formula milk is made with cow's milk that is specially tailored made with added vitamins, minerals, LCP's to meet a baby's nutritional needs.

Both Bobbie and Aptamil are lactose based formulas with intact proteins (meaning for babies who do not have a lactose intolerance/sensitivity).

Both formulas are non-GMO and have relatively similar fat blends.

Aptamil and Bobbie contain DHA in similar quantities, with slightly more per 100/calories with Aptamil.
