Breastfeeding is best. Neocate Syneo is a Food for Special Medical Purposes for the dietary management of Cow’s Milk Allergy, Multiple Food Protein Allergies and other conditions where an amino acid-based formula is recommended. It should only be used under medical supervision, after full consideration of the feeding options available including breastfeeding. Suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition for infants under one year of age. Refer to label for details. The quantity of feed and the dilution should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only, and is dependent on age, body weight and medical condition of the patient. Powdered infant formula is not sterile. Infant formula should be prepared immediately prior to feeding. Do not boil formula and do not use a microwave oven to prepare or warm formula. Warming and incorrect preparation can limit the benefits of Bifidobacterium breve M-16V. Preparation: Important information about preparation of Neocate Syneo: Please note the preparation instructions of Neocate Syneo are different to the preparation instructions of Neocate LCP in order to preserve the Bifidobacterium breve M-16V. One level scoop (as provided in the tin) provides approximately 4.8g of powder. Add one level scoop of powder to every ounce (30ml) of water to yield the recommended feed concentration (14.4 %w/v). 1. Wash hands thoroughly and clean the preparation area. Sterilise bottles and teats. 2. Boil fresh water for five minutes or until an electric kettle switches off. Pour the required amount of water into the sterilised bottle, cover the bottle with the cap and cool down to room temperature. 3. Fill the scoop provided with powder and level off with a clean, dry knife. Do not press the powder into the scoop. Use only the scoop provided. 4. Add the prescribed number of scoops of powder to the water. Replace the cap on the bottle and shake until the powder dissolves. 5. Before feeding, ensure that the formula is at the correct temperature by placing a few drops on the wrist. Use immediately after reconstitution. Formula remaining in the bottle after one hour of feeding should be discarded. Formula must not be rewarmed during feeding. Good dental hygiene is important for infants and children, as prolonged or frequent contact of drinks and feeds with teeth increases the risk of tooth decay. Make sure their teeth are cleaned after the last feed at night.
