Preparation

• Hypo- and hypercaloric formulas should be used under the direction of a physician.
  
  
• 27 Cal/fl oz or more calorically dense formula may not supply enough water for some infants. Hydration status should be monitored and water supplied from other sources, if necessary.
  
  
• For improved tolerance, it is best to increase caloric density slowly, by 2- to 4-Cal/fl oz increments.
  
  
• Powder: Caloric Density
  
  The following table shows the quantity of water to mix with the number of unpacked, level scoop(s) of Powder to arrive at the approximate caloric densities shown. Use only the scoop provided in the container.
  
  

  Caloric Density (Cal/fl oz)	Water (fl oz)	Unpacked, Level Scoop	Approximate Yield (fl oz)
  20 (standard)	2	1	2
  22	3.5	2	4
  24	5	3	6
  26	1.5	1	2
  27	4.25	3	5

  
  To make a larger amount of formula at standard density (20 Cal/fl oz) using a standard measuring cup, add 1 unpacked, level cup (NOT the enclosed scoop) of Powder (100 g) to 23 fl oz of water. Yields approximately 26 fl oz of formula. Use within 24 hours.
  
  
• Powder
  
  Your baby's health depends on carefully following these directions. Proper hygiene, handling and storage are important when preparing infant formula. Failure to follow these directions could result in severe harm. Ask your baby's doctor if you need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing and if you need to boil (sterilize) bottle, nipple and ring before use.
  • Wash your hands, surfaces and utensils
  • Pour water into a clean cup or bottle (see mixing guide)
  • Add 1 unpacked level scoop (8.7 g) to each 2 fl oz of water
  • Return dry scoop to holder in lid
  • Cap cup or bottle
  • Shake well
  • Once feeding begins, use within 1 hour or discard
  
  
• Powder: Mixing Guide
  
  

  Measure water	+	Add scoop(s) of unpacked level powder using enclosed scoop	=	Finished bottle (approx)
  2 fl oz		1 scoop (8.7 g)		2 fl oz
  4 fl oz		2 scoops		4 fl oz
  6 fl oz		3 scoops		6 fl oz
  8 fl oz		4 scoops		8 fl oz

  
  Pour prepared formula into feeding cup or bottle, cap and store in refrigerator. Use within 24 hours.
