Directions for Preparation and Use:
Analog metabolic infant formulas must be consumed in conjunction
with a whole protein source (e.g. breast milk or standard
infant formula) in quantities prescribed by a dietitian or
physician to meet complete protein requirements and ensure
normal growth.
Formula
dosage will vary depending on the age, body weight, medical
condition and protein tolerance of the infant.
Boil
water for 5 minutes and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes
so that it feels warm to the wrist.
Add
the prescribed amount of Analog powder and a protein
source to the sterilized feeding bottle. For accuracy, Analog should be weighed on a gram scale. If using the provided scoop,
fill it and level off with a clean, dry knife. Do not press
the powder into the scoop.
Pour
the required amount of cooled, boiled water into feeding bottle.
To make the recommended dilution (21 kcal/oz), Analog requires 1 fl oz (30 mL) of water for every 5 g (1 unpacked,
level scoop) of powder. Place cap on bottle and shake until
powder has dissolved.
Make
sure the formula is lukewarm by placing a few drops on your
wrist.
Formula
prepared in advance must be cooled rapidly, stored in the refrigerator
(35°F to 40°F) and used within 24 hours of preparation. Shake
immediately before use. Formula remaining in the bottle after
one hour of feeding should be discarded. Tube feeding "hang
time" should not exceed 4 hours.
