When preparing any infant feed, please follow the guidelines below:1. Wash hands thoroughly and clean the preparation area. Sterilise the bottles and teats (if using). At 30 minutes so that it feels warm to the wrist. Pour the required amount of water into a sterilised feeding bottle.3. Fill the scoop provided with infant formula and level off with a clean dry knife. Do not press the powder into the scoop. Only use the scoop provided.4. Add the prescribed number of scoops of infant formula to the water. Replace cap on the bottle and shake until powder is dissolved. Before feeding, ensure the formula is at the correct temperature by placing a few drops on the wrist.5. Shake or stir formula immediately before use. Formula should not be warmed for longer than 15 minutes prior to feeding. Do not boil formula and do not use a microwave oven to prepare or warm formula. Formula remaining in the bottle after one hour of feeding should be discarded. Formula must not be rewarmed during feeding. For preparation for older children, please follow the guidelines below:
1. Measure out the prescribed amount of Monogen using the scoop provided.
2. Add a small amount of the required water.
2. Stir with a fork until a smooth paste is formed.
