A lower concentration may be required initially until tolerance is achieved. Preparation: THE HEALTH OF YOUR INFANT DEPENDS ON CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARATION AND USE. INCORRECT PREPARATION CAN MAKE YOUR BABY ILL. 1. To prepare bottle feed, wash hands thoroughly and clean the preparation area. Sterilise bottles and teats. 2.
