Dental care

Advice for dental care

Carbohydrates are indispensible for the nutrition of your child. Like human milk nepheaHD Infant contains carbohydrates.

Incorrect use of the bottle (frequent or continuous sucking) can result in tooth decay (caries) and related damages to health.

Thus a bottle feed should only last for the time required for the food intake.
