Directions
for Preparation and Use:
NEOCATE is suitable for infants who are unable to tolerate soy- or hydrolysate-based
formulas. Formula dilution will vary depending on the age, body
weight and medical condition of the infant.
Note: Powdered infant formula is not sterile. Healthcare professionals
may recommend that formula be freshly prepared immediately
prior to feeding, especially for immune-compromised infants.
Boil
water for 5 minutes and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes
so that it feels warm to the wrist.
Fill
the scoop provided with NEOCATE and level
off with a clean, dry knife. Do not press the powder into
the scoop.
Add
the prescribed number of scoops of NEOCATE to the sterilized feeding bottle.
Pour
the prescribed amount of cooled, boiled water into feeding
bottle. Place cap on the bottle and shake until the powder
dissolves.
Before
feeding, make sure that the formula is lukewarm by placing a
few drops on your wrist. Shake immediately before use. Formula
prepared in advance must be cooled rapidly, stored in the refrigerator
and used within 24 hours of preparation. Formula remaining in
the bottle after one hour of feeding should be discarded. Tube
feeding “hang time” should not exceed 4 hours.
