Pregestimil Hypoallergenic Infant Formula for Fat Malabsorption
A specialized, extensively hydrolyzed formula with 55% MCT oil designed for infants who have difficulty absorbing fat or are sensitive to intact milk proteins. Complete nutrition for newborns through 12 months, from the #1 pediatrician-recommended brand.
Why Pediatricians Recommend Pregestimil
55% MCT Oil for Fat Absorption
Medium-chain triglycerides are absorbed more easily than long-chain fats, making Pregestimil ideal for infants with fat malabsorption conditions.
Extensively Hydrolyzed Protein
Casein proteins are broken down into very small peptides that are better tolerated by milk-allergic babies, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
DHA and Choline for Brain Development
Contains DHA, ARA, choline, and inositol - important nutrients also found in breast milk that help support healthy brain and eye development.
Designed for Infants with Sensitive Digestion
Some babies need extra support when it comes to absorbing fat and tolerating proteins. Pregestimil is specifically formulated as an extensively hydrolyzed, lactose-free formula that provides complete nutrition while being gentle on sensitive stomachs.
- Formulated for infants with fat malabsorption
- Modified casein protein for milk-allergic babies
- Complete nutrition as a sole source for 0-6 months
- Backed by decades of clinical research from Mead Johnson
One Can Makes 112 fl oz of Formula
Each 1 lb can of Pregestimil powder provides approximately 112 fluid ounces of prepared formula when mixed according to directions. Here's how that translates to bottles:
- 2 fl oz bottles: approximately 51 bottles (12 days)
- 4 fl oz bottles: approximately 25 bottles (6 days)
- 8 fl oz bottles: approximately 12 bottles (3 days)
Based on 4-5 servings per day when 100% powder-fed.
#1 Pediatrician-Recommended Formula Brand
Enfamil is trusted by more pediatricians than any other formula brand. Pregestimil builds on decades of research into infant nutrition, offering science-backed support for babies with special dietary needs.
Common Questions About Pregestimil
What is Pregestimil used for and who is it designed for?
Pregestimil is designed for infants who have trouble absorbing fat or who are sensitive to intact milk proteins. It is commonly recommended for babies with conditions like short bowel syndrome, cystic fibrosis, steatorrhea, or other fat malabsorption issues. It can be used as a sole source of nutrition for infants 0-6 months and as a supplementary food for infants 6-12 months.
What makes Pregestimil different from regular Enfamil formulas?
Pregestimil contains 55% of its fat from MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil, which is absorbed more easily than the long-chain fats found in standard formulas. The protein is extensively hydrolyzed casein - broken down into very small peptides that are better tolerated by infants with cow's milk allergy. It is also completely lactose-free.
How do I prepare Enfamil Pregestimil powder formula?
Use the scoop provided in the can. For a 2 fl oz bottle, add 1 packed level scoop (8.9g) of powder. For 4 fl oz, use 2 scoops (17.8g). For 8 fl oz, use 4 scoops (35.6g). Pour cooled, boiled water into the bottle first, then add powder, cap, and shake well. Each scoop adds about 0.2 fl oz to the total volume. Use only as directed by a medical professional.
Does Pregestimil contain DHA for brain development?
Yes. Pregestimil contains both DHA (from Schizochytrium sp. oil) and ARA (from Mortierella alpina oil). These are important fatty acids also found in breast milk that help support brain and eye development. The formula also contains choline and inositol for additional brain development support.
How should I store Pregestimil after opening the can?
Store unopened cans at room temperature. After opening, keep the can tightly covered and store in a dry area. Use the contents within 1 month of opening. Do not freeze the powder, and avoid excessive heat. Once prepared, feed the formula immediately or refrigerate at 35-40F (2-4C) for no longer than 24 hours. Do not use prepared formula if it has been unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours total.
Is Pregestimil safe for premature infants?
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. Always consult your pediatrician before choosing a formula, especially for infants with special medical needs. Your baby's doctor can determine whether Pregestimil is appropriate.
