How to prepare a feed:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before preparation.
2. Clean the feeding bottle, cap and teat, then sterilise them in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
3. Bring fresh water to the boil in a covered saucepan and simmer for at least 5 minutes.
4. Allow the water to cool to 40 °C, then pour it into the bottle.
5. Add the required number of level scoops using the scoop provided.
6. Close the bottle and shake vigorously until the powder has completely dissolved.
7. Allow the feed to cool to 37 °C and check the temperature on the inside of your wrist.

The thickened formula may require longer, more vigorous shaking. Using a sufficiently large bottle can help. According to the manufacturer, AR Digest + by Novalac may contain small dark particles of plant origin (rosehip flour) and/or white clumps of fibre, which do not affect your child’s health. Prepare each feed freshly, discard any leftovers and use the contents of the tin within 3 weeks of opening.
