Enfamil A.R. Infant Formula

Enfamil · Infant (0–12 months)

Enfamil A.R. (Anti-Reflux) is specially formulated with added rice starch. It flows easily through a standard nipple but thickens in the stomach, which is clinically proven to significantly reduce frequent spit-up. It is a nutritionally complete and safer alternative to the old practice of adding dry rice cereal directly to a baby's bottle.

Why parents consider it

Highly effective at reducing frequent spit-up and mild reflux. Safer and more nutritionally balanced than manually adding rice cereal. Contains DHA, ARA, and prebiotics. Thickens in the stomach, not the bottle, making it easier to feed.

Worth knowing

Contains palm olein oil. Thicker consistency may still require a faster-flow nipple for some babies. Can sometimes cause firmer stools or mild constipation due to the rice starch.

Our plain-English take

For babies struggling with excessive spit-up (uncomplicated reflux), Enfamil A.R. is often the pediatrician's first recommendation. It takes the guesswork out of thickening feeds. Just be aware that the rice starch can occasionally lead to slight constipation.
