Preparation Instructions:
- Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool to about 50°C (122°F). Pour about half of the required water into a clean, sterilized bottle.
- Add the correct number of level scoops using only the enclosed scoop (1 level scoop per 30 ml of water). Level each scoop with the back of a knife; do not press down.
- Close the bottle and shake vigorously until fully dissolved, then add the remaining water and shake again.
- Let it cool to drinking temperature (about 37°C / 98°F) and always test the temperature before feeding.
Important Notes:
- Follow the preparation instructions exactly — the correct dosage always gives your baby the nutrients it needs.
- Use only the enclosed scoop. Incorrect preparation or storage can be harmful to health.
- Prepare each bottle fresh and feed immediately; do not reuse leftovers. Do not warm in a microwave (risk of scalding).
- Once opened, store in a cool, dry place (not the refrigerator) and use within about 3 weeks. Breast milk is best for your baby. This formula is specifically designed for a diversified diet and should not be used to replace breast milk during the first six months of life; the decision to introduce it should be based on your baby's individual development, ideally with advice from a health professional.
