Not intended for bottle or tube feeding. Not intended as a sole source of nutrition.
The Neocate range are Foods for Special Medical Purposes and must be used under medical supervision after full consideration of all feeding options, including breastfeeding. The product should be prepared immediately prior to feeding and any remaining should be discarded if not used within 1 hour. Neocate Spoon can be added to cooked dishes. Ensure the food feels warm to the wrist before adding Neocate Spoon. Do not add to very hot foods. Do not warm prepared product. Infants should receive Neocate Spoon as well as breastmilk or a hypoallergenic infant formula.
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.

By clicking the continue button you’ll be able to find out about infant milks and other products. Breastfeeding is best and provides many benefits. It is important that, in preparation for and during breastfeeding, mothers eat a healthy, balanced diet. Combined breast and bottle feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of breast milk, and reversing the decision not to breastfeed is difficult. The social and financial implications of using an infant milk should be considered. Improper use of an infant milk or inappropriate foods or feeding methods may present a health hazard. If an infant milk is used, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use carefully – failure to follow the instructions may make an infant ill. Follow-on milk should only be used as part of a mixed diet and not as a breastmilk substitute before 6 months.
Foods for special medical purposes should only be used under medical supervision.
