Shake well. Remove cap and the seal. Insert the adapter plug, smooth side up, by pushing downward and twisting until a tight seal is made.
Top of plug should be flush with neck and not removable. Fully depress syringe plunger and insert into adapter.
Invert bottle and pull syringe to correct volume. Infant should be upright. Do not administer to a crying infant. Administer slowly, a few drops at a time, allowing infant to swallow each time. Dispense slowly towards side of mouth/inner cheek. Use syringe provided, or a dropper, or place measured amount in slow-flow nipple bottle. Do not mix with formula or breast milk. Give separately from feedings. Do not administer to infants younger than 4 weeks or less than 8 pounds.
Recommended serving:
4 weeks to 6 weeks of age 1 ml p to 15 times a day
6 weeks to 10 weeks of age 2 ml up to 8 times a day
10 weeks to 6 months and older 5 ml up to 3 times a day
We have recently changed the suggested use directions of our products to reduce the amount given per serving for younger infants but to increase the possible frequency of administration.
The total maximum amount (volume) consumed per day would remain the same with the new instructions.
We have made this change to help some parents who found that giving the entire suggested amount per serving to their infant in one sitting was challenging.
If you and your child have found that the previous use instructions work well for you, then by all means you can feel safe in continuing to follow those.
