Preparation and directions for usage
All Aptamil products carry preparation instructions. Please see packaging for further information. The standard dilution of 13.4% is made with 3 scoops of powder and 90ml of water providing 66 kcal/100ml. Aptamil Pepti-Junior can be prepared with 4 scoops (18.1% dilution) instead of 3 in case of high energy needs, such as malabsorption with malnutrition, to
provide 88.7 kcal/100ml and still with a low osmolality (275 mOsmol/kg H2O). The recommended intake of Aptamil Pepti-Junior should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only, and is dependent on the age, body weight and medical condition of the infant. Due to the special formulation of this feed there will be some separation of prepared feeds on standing. Shake well before use. For hygiene reasons, do not store made up feeds. Make up each feed as required and always discard unfinished feeds as soon as possible and always within 2 hours.
