Instructions

Preparation Steps:

Wash your hands and make sure the top of the pack is clean.
Check the best-before date, then shake the pack well before opening.
Pour the required amount into a clean beaker or cup.
Serve at room temperature, or warm gently to about 37°C (98.6°F) if desired. Do not heat in the microwave.
Always check the temperature before serving.

Important Notes:

Suitable only for toddlers from 1 year of age. Not suitable as a breast-milk substitute or infant formula for babies under 12 months.
Growing-up milk is intended as part of a varied, balanced diet — it does not replace meals. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important for your child's well-being.
Improper storage and use of the product can harm your child's health.
For hygiene reasons, discard any unfinished milk in the beaker as soon as possible and always within 2 hours.
Storage: Keep unopened packs in a cool, dry place (5–25°C). Once opened, refrigerate immediately and use within 48 hours (follow the storage instructions printed on the pack you receive).

Mixing & Feeding Guide

This is a ready-to-feed liquid growing-up milk — no water, powder or mixing is required. Each 200ml pack is one toddler serving. From 1 year, milk is a complement to a varied diet of family foods, and the amount your child drinks will vary with appetite and how much they eat at meals. Follow your pediatrician's guidance on daily milk volumes, and do not force your child to finish the pack.
