Calmita – Hospital feeding solution to support and protect breastfeeding
Intended use
In combination with a Medela disposable hospital bottle, Calmita is intended to be used for oral feeding of human milk, fortified human milk or formula to preterm and term infants when breastfeeding is not possible.
