Must only be used under strict medical supervision. Suitable for use as a sole source of nutrition for infants only and as a supplementary feed for children over 1 year of age and adults. Good dental hygiene is important for infants and children, as prolonged or frequent contact of drinks and feeds with teeth increases the risk of tooth decay. Make sure their teeth are cleaned after the last feed at night. Ask your Health or Dental Professional for advice.

THE HEALTH OF YOUR INFANT DEPENDS ON CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARATION AND USE.
INCORRECT PREPARATION CAN MAKE YOUR BABY ILL.

Suggested intake: The quantity of feed and the dilution should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only, and is dependent on age, bodyweight and medical condition of the patient.

Recommended feed concentration: Each level scoop (5,6 g) of powder requires 30 ml of water to yield the recommended feed concentration (16,8% w/v). Preparation per 100ml ready to feed; 90 ml water of 40°C (preferably) + 3 leveled scoops.

Preparation instructions:

1. Wash hands thoroughly and clean preparation area. Sterilize bottles and teats. Powder is not sterile and should be prepared immediately prior to feeding. Shake or stir immediately before use.
2. Boil fresh water for 5 minutes or until an electric kettle switches off and allow to cool for at least 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 powder 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 powder to the water. Replace the cap on the bottle and shake until the powder dissolves. Before feeding, ensure that the product is at the correct temperature by placing a few drops on the wrist.
5. Formula remaining in the bottle after one hour of feeding should be discarded. Prepared feed must not be rewarmed during feeding.
