Standard dilution

14 g nephea Infant

Preparation

Preparation of a bottle feed

Clean and boil glass bottle and teat before use.

Boil the drinking water and allow to cool down to approx. 40° C

Add required amount of boiled water to the bottle.

Level the scoop with the back of a knife. Use only the scoop provided in the tin.

Put the lid carefully on the bottle and shake.

Open the bottle and fix the teat. Check drinking temperature (cheek test).

Further ways of preparation
nephea Infant can be prepared to a solid consistency, e.g. as a pap or pudding or can be added as a supplement to other food.
Tube feeding
Measure required amount of nephea Infant (according to desired energy density) and add to pre-boiled water (cooled down to moderate temperature). Dissolve lump-free, if necessary use a shaker or a whisk. Start with low dosage, then increase gradually. nephea Infant can be applied via regular tubes.

Always prepare the bottle feed or pap with nephea freshly. Do not reuse leftovers.

Dental care

Advice for dental care

Carbohydrates are indispensible for the nutrition of your child. Like human milk nephea Infant contains carbohydrates.

Incorrect use of the bottle (frequent or continuous sucking) can result in tooth decay (caries) and related damages to health.

Thus a bottle feed should only last for the time required for the food intake.
