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:
  The following table shows the quantity of water to mix with the number of unpacked, level scoop(s) (8.7 g) 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. To maintain freshness, pour prepared formula into individual feeding bottles, cap and store in refrigerator. Prepared formula should not be left unrefrigerated. Use within 24 hours.

• The contents of a 14.1-oz (400-g) can will make approximately 102 fl oz of formula when mixed as directed.
