Preparation and directions for usage
The total daily intake of Neocate Spoon should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only, and is dependent on age, bodyweight, and medical condition of the patient. The suggested serving size is 1 sachet (37g) of powder plus 60ml of water, to give a spoonable consistency (approximately 97g). For infants starting on solids, the consistency of Neocate Spoon can be altered by adding more or less water as required. A smaller serving size can be prepared by adding 30ml of water to half a sachet of powder. It is recommended that cooled, boiled water be used when preparing the product for infants. Preparation: 1. Wash hands thoroughly and clean the preparation area. 2. Add the prescribed amount of Neocate Spoon into a clean bowl. 3. Gradually add the required amount of cooled, boiled water whilst stirring with a clean feeding spoon. Mix until thickened - this may take several minutes.
Store unopened sachets in a cool, dry place. Opened sachets should be kept in airtight container and used within 24 hours.
