For More Spit Up-Free Feedings
Enfamil A.R. is specially formulated with an easy-to-digest rice starch that goes down smooth, and is designed to thicken in your baby’s stomach. After switching to Enfamil A.R., babies had approximately 4x more spit up-free feedings.* And with all the benefits of LIPIL for baby’s brain and eye development.
Ask your baby’s doctor if Enfamil A.R. is right for your baby.
1905, Jersey City, New Jersey. Our beginnings.
Actually, things started many years earlier, when Edward Mead Johnson, Sr., and his brother James co-founded Johnson and Johnson. E. Mead eventually left the company to focus on a new venture. In 1905, he re-established that business as Mead Johnson & Company.
A subject close to home.
E. Mead was motivated by a desire to make products that would help people lead healthier lives, so infant nutrition was a natural fit. He not only saw the need for high-quality products for babies; he knew as a father how serious feeding difficulties could be. His own son Ted had survived serious feeding problems as an infant.
Creating the first infant formula.
E. Mead learned from the leading pediatrician of his time that the medical profession needed a product that could be more easily tolerated than the homemade and other experimental preparations typically fed to infants when breast milk wasn’t available. The physician requested this type of product. After much research, E. Mead and his son Lambert discovered how to manufacture it. After successful clinical testing, Dextri-Maltose® was introduced in 1911. This specialty carbohydrate was later used as an ingredient in nine other Mead Johnson products.
The move to Evansville.
During World War I, the potato starch needed to make Dextri-Maltose became unavailable. So E. Mead moved his business to Evansville, Indiana, where corn was readily available as an alternate carbohydrate source. Today, Evansville is Mead Johnson’s global operations center and U.S. regional office.
Enfamil®.
