Aspen was diagnosed with phenylketonuria (PKU) at birth and started on Nutricia\u2019s PKU Periflex Early Years infant formula.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutricia is committed to supporting your little one with the best nutrition possible. We understand that it can be overwhelming when you first learn that your baby is diagnosed with a metabolic disorder like phenylketonuria (PKU), maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), homocystinuria (HCU), or another rare inborn error of metabolism. We want you to know that we are here for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Periflex\/Anamix Early Years formulas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Periflex\/Anamix Early Years are powdered infant formulas for the dietary management of inborn errors of metabolism. We offer Early Years formulas for PKU, MSUD, HCU, glutaric acidemia type 1 (GA-1), tyrosinemia (TYR), methylmalonic\/propionic academia (MMA\/PA), isovaleric acidemia (IVA), and sulfite oxidase deficiency (SOD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Periflex\/Anamix Early Years formulas are tailored to meet your baby&#8217;s nutritional needs for growth and development and do not contain the amino acids your baby cannot break down. Early Years are the only metabolic infant formulas that contain both prebiotic oligosaccharides and DHA &amp; ARA. Scroll down to learn more about these nutrients in Early Years formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nutriciametabolics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EarlyYearsFamily.png\" alt=\"Line-up of the Early Years formula family\" class=\"wp-image-5547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nutriciametabolics.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EarlyYearsFamily.png 650w, https:\/\/www.nutriciametabolics.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/EarlyYearsFamily-300x69.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Periflex\/Anamix Early Years metabolic infant formulas are available for a variety of inborn errors of metabolism.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More information about your baby\u2019s condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism like PKU and MSUD are rare genetic disorders in which the body cannot properly break down certain amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. The disorders are usually caused by defects in specific enzymes that help metabolize these amino acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our <a href=\"\/en-us\/metabolic-disorders-education-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TEMPLE (Tools Enabling Metabolic Parents Learning) series of booklets and videos<\/strong><\/a> that explain inborn errors of metabolism in easy-to-understand language and pictures. They\u2019re perfect if you\u2019re new to the world of inborn errors of metabolism. Our blog includes TEMPLE and other educational resources available to you and your friends and family to help better understand your little one\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why has Periflex\/Anamix Early Years been recommended for my baby, and why does my baby need this formula?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your baby&#8217;s Early Years formula has been recommended as part of a complete diet plan to help meet nutritional requirements for growth and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early Years provides your baby with a great start in life, as well as the experience and reassurance of a product that has been used and trusted in 25 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s special about Periflex\/Anamix Early Years?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other metabolic infant formulas, Early Years formulas contain both prebiotic oligosaccharides and DHA &amp; ARA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prebiotic oligosaccharides<\/strong> are a form of dietary fiber. They feed the \u201cgood bacteria\u201d in your baby\u2019s digestive tract. Prebiotic oligosaccharides help support your baby\u2019s immune system and digestive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DHA &amp; ARA<\/strong> are two fatty acids that are very important for your baby\u2019s development. DHA in particular is important for your baby\u2019s brain, eye, and nerve development, from infancy up to two years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prebiotic oligosaccharide blend used in Nutricia\u2019s Early Years formulas has been clinically demonstrated to help maintain good digestive and immune health for babies. This may be especially important when exclusive breastfeeding is not an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can feel confident that you\u2019re making the best choice for your baby with Nutricia Early Years: these are the only metabolic infant formulas to contain both prebiotics oligosaccharides and DHA &amp; ARA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nutriciametabolics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AspenAndFather.jpg\" alt=\"Aspen and her dad, Darryl\" class=\"wp-image-5761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nutriciametabolics.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AspenAndFather.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.nutriciametabolics.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AspenAndFather-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nutriciametabolics.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AspenAndFather-768x635.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aspen and her dad Darryl.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How should I prepare my baby\u2019s formula?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dietitian will advise you on the amount of powder and water needed to make your baby\u2019s bottle. Freshly prepared formula is best. Formula prepared in advance must be cooled rapidly, stored in the refrigerator and used within 24 hours of preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more tips on preparing your baby\u2019s formula, such as how to use a gram scale, ask your clinic to send you Nutricia\u2019s Early Years Caregiver\u2019s Guide, a booklet full of metabolic infant formula information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What comes next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The early years go by fast! As your baby grows past infancy, she\u2019ll be ready for a toddler-stage formula. Work with your metabolic clinic to learn when and how to transition your little one to a toddler-stage formula and diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutricia provides toddler-stage formulas that your baby can transition to after Early Years formulas.
