1. Thoroughly wash feeding bottle, nipple, cap and all utensils to be used in preparing the feeding.
2. After rinsing soap from the utensils, boil them for 5 minutes. Provide clean surface on which to prepare the formula.
3. In a separate pan, heat water to a rolling boil for 5 minutes and allow it to cool. Pour the correct amount of warm previously boiled water into the sterilised feeding bottle.
4. Fill enclosed scoop by pressing against the tin, then scrape level with the straight edge of a knife.
5. Add one level scoop of Similac Isomil to each 60 mL of water in bottle.
6. Mix until completely dissolved. Test temperature and feed. Once feeding begins, use within one hour or discard.
Note: Prepared formula may also be fed from a cup, or mixed with cereal or other solid foods.
Directions for Preparation and Use: Use as directed by the physician. Powdered infant formulas are not sterile and should not be fed to premature infants or infants who might have immune problems unless directed and supervised by the baby's doctor. Use water that has previously been heated at a full rolling boil for 5 minutes. Allow the water to cool and follow mixing instructions carefully. Use only the scoop (9.0 g) enclosed in the tin to measure Similac Isomil. If more than one feeding is prepared, it must be refrigerated at 35°F-40°F (2°C-4°C) and used within 24 hours. Once feeding begins, use within one hour or discard.
