Blemil Plus 1 Optimum

Blemil plus 1 Optimum is the complete infant formula with all the nutrients necessary to meet the requirements for infants from birth and up to 6 months of age.

Following the model of breast milk, Blemil plus 1 Optimum incorporates in its formula a unique combination of immunoprotective nutrients. These include prebiotics which enhance the proper development of the immune and digestive system and lutein which helps ensure adequate visual acuity. Blemil is the only range of formulas with Milk Osteopontin, HMO and MFGM.

Features

Protection

• Contains milk Osteopontin: whey protein involved in the maturation/development of immune system1-3.
• Includes MFGM (Milk Fat Globule Membrane), crucial in immunological and brain development.
• Incorporates the HMO 2’-fucosyllactose (2’-FL), a last generation prebiotic with antimicrobiological effect.
• Enriched with Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), the most similar oligosaccharides to those in breast milk with the greatest ability to block the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria and offer the most favorable growth characteristics for lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.

Growth

• Lower protein content for balanced growth. Blemil plus 1 Optimum has reduced its protein content bringing it closer to that of human milk maintaining a complete protein profile thanks to its high percentage of α-lactalbumin.

Brain and visual development

• High amounts of LC-PUFA, important for good brain and eyesight development.
• Provides lutein: an antioxidant present in breast milk and linked to the development of correct eyesight in infants.
• Contains Carnitine and Taurine: boost the infant’s brain and eyesight development.

Tolerance and digestibility

• 100% lactose: favors intestinal tract maturation and supports an intestinal microbiota rich in acid lactic bacteria.
• Supplemented with nucleotides: play a role in the development of the digestive and immune systems of infants.

Indications

Blemil plus 1 Optimum is an infant formula that fully meets the nutritional needs of healthy newborns from birth and up to 6 months of age.

Preparation

Your baby’s health depends on carefully following the instructions below. Proper hygiene, preparation, dilution, use and storage are important when preparing infant formula. 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 your baby’s doctor. Ask your baby’s doctor which formula is appropriate for your baby. Ask your baby’s doctor about the need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing and the need to boil clean utensils, bottles and nipples in water before use.

	Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water before preparing baby bottle. Cleaning the bottle, teat and thread, boil in water in a closed container for 10 minutes.
	Boil water and let it cool for about 3 minutes (so that it remains at a temperature of at least 176 ºF).
	Pour into a clean bottle the exact amount of water and formula listed on the instructions of the container. Be careful of scalding.
	Put a cap on the bottle and shake to mix. Do not stir.
	Cool the formula to body temperature so it will not burn your baby’s mouth. Hold the capped bottle under cool water or place it in an ice bath. Do not let the cooling water get into the bottle or on the nipple.
	Before feeding your baby, test the formula’s temperature by putting a few drops on your wrist. It should feel warm, not hot.
