WARNING: Follow instructions exactly. Prepare bottles and teats as directed. Do not change proportions of powder except on medical advice. Incorrect preparation can make your baby very ill.
Always wash your hands before preparing a bottle. Each bottle should be prepared individually. Only use the measuring scoop provided.
It is recommended that formula be used immediately after it is prepared.

 |
Boil clean drinking water for 5 minutes and allow to cool to 40°C. Pour the required amount of water (see Feeding Guide) into the bottle. |

Formula should be consumed within one hour of preparation. Any formula left over after feeding should be discarded.
Novalac Reflux is best when used with a variable flow teat.
