Directions
for Preparation and Use:
Neocate
Infant may be mixed with warm or cool sterile water*. Do not
boil formula or use a microwave to prepare or warm formula.
For standard dilution, use enclosed scoop (4.75 g) to mix one
level scoop per fluid ounce of prepared formula.
How to
make a 5 fluid ounce bottle:
Add 5 scoops of Neocate Infant to a clean, sterile container.
Fill up to the 5 fluid ounce line with warm or cool sterile
water.
Shake for 15-20 seconds or until the powder dissolves. Add additional water if necessary to make final volume and shake again.
*Boiling is the preferred method for sterilizing water, bottles,
nipples, and mixing utensils.
Freshly mixed formula is best. Refrigerate pre-mixed formula
immediately and use within 24 hours of mixing. Shake immediately
before use. Throw away formula left in the bottle one hour after
feeding. Tube feeding hang time should not exceed 4 hours.
Do not boil formula. Do not use a microwave oven to prepare
or warm formula.
