Use a scale to weigh out the prescribed amount of powder and add the powder to the water. 4. Replace the cap on the bottle and shake until the powder dissolves.

Ensure the temperature of the water is at least 50˚C 122°F for feed preparation. 1. Weigh out the prescribed amount of powder. 2. Add a small amount of the required water to the prescribed amount of powder and stir with a fork until a smooth paste is obtained. 3. Continue stirring whilst adding the rest of the water until the prescribed dilution is achieved. To prepare a sip feed, wash hands and use clean equipment.
