Has anyone else come across an MJ infant formula (Enfalac AR) with
added rice flour which is currently being launched in Australia. I
quote from an advertisement in a medical publication:
"a nutritionally complete thickened formula designed to relieve
the symptoms of physiological infant reflux. (A common problem
that affects about 50% of all infants). The real beauty of a
thickened feed ... is that it can replace crying time with
sleeping time and help babies bodies function the way they're
meant to."
Get real. If mother nature designed 50% of babies to reflux, why
didn't she put rice flour into breastmilk so babies bodies could
"function the way they're meant to?".
Aside from your collective indignation, is this a product you are
familiar with that has only just hit our shores? What do you know
about it? Please e-mail me privately as I have trouble keeping up
with lactnet responses during the week.
