Laïta Nutrition are putting their expertise to good use: soothing some of the most common ailments in babies!

New-born babies have very specific nutritional requirements, in order to help them grow and develop. Parents are increasingly demanding when it comes to the quality and food safety credentials of the products they give to their children. They are looking for real solutions capable of soothing the most common ailments suffered by babies, such as reflux and colic. Studies show that between 20% and 25% of babies suffer from colic in their first four months, with 66% experiencing problems with regurgitation. Acutely aware of the impact these conditions can have on babies and their families, the experts at Laïta Nutrition draw upon their proven expertise in formulation to devise technical solutions for colic and reflux.

Laïta Nutrition offers bespoke solutions for soothing colic

Drawing on its expertise in complex formulations, Laïta Nutrition has a range of special recipes designed to help reduce colic in infants.

Chief among these solutions is Laïta’s AC milk, available in a range of formulation options.

  • The formula may include Omega 3 oils.
  • FOS and GOS for their prebiotic properties
  • Omega 3 oils, not always found in baby formula.
  • A low-lactose formula, which helps limit fermentation and gas production in the intestine, another common symptom of colic.

Laïta Nutrition also offers an IC baby formula (Intestinal Transit), an FSMP specially designed for babies suffering from colic and constipation. This formula can be adapted with hydrolysates.

Laïta Nutrition’s breadth of expertise is also reflected in the company’s anti-reflux solutions.

Laïta’s AR powdered milk (FSMP) is designed for infants displaying symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux or regurgitation.This product:

  • Uses carob as a thickening agent, and can be combined with starch to delay the onset of hunger between feeds. 
  • Can be customised as required, with the addition of probiotics, FOS and GOS.

The specific properties of AR milk have earned the approval and recommendation of the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. Those properties include:

  • a casein-to-serum protein ratio of 40/60. This ratio is close to that of breast milk and promotes flocculation in the stomach.
  • Whey protein, which can also be partially hydrolysed to aid digestion.
  • Optimal carbohydrate content, and in particular maltodextrins for gastric emptying.

Laïta Nutrition can also help industrial partners to create specialised products such as milk formulas thickened with starch (Comfort). Laïta has the flexibility and know-how to tailor formulations to clients’ precise requirements, incorporating:

  • DHA
  • EPA
  • ARA
  • Vitamins A, C and D, plus Iron
  • FOS/GOS to help reduce reflux and ensure maximum digestive comfort.
  • Reduced-lactose formulations are available, with the option to include partially hydrolysed whey protein.

All in all, Laïta Nutrition offers a wide range of products designed to help reduce regurgitation and colic and improve the digestive comfort of infants. The many customisation options on offer ensure that clients can choose the right forms, textures and compositions to suit their exact requirements.
