How to Use Similac Stage 4 Follow-Up Formula (18 to 24 months) Powder:

Clean the feeding bottle, nipple, cap, and preparation utensils meticulously. Rinse all soap residue away and then sterilize by boiling for five minutes. Separately, bring water to a rolling boil for five minutes, then let it cool to lukewarm. Add the prescribed volume of this cooled, boiled water to the sterilized container. Using the included scoop, add one level scoop of powder (approximately 5.1g) for every 30ml (1 fl oz) of water, or 148.1g of powder per litre. Always follow your pediatrician's feeding guidelines for your infant. Stir until fully dissolved. Verify the temperature before feeding. Discard any remaining formula after one hour.

Safety Instruction of Similac Stage 4 Follow-Up Formula (18 to 24 months) Powder:

• Always check the product label before administration.
• Keep in a cool, dry location, shielded from direct sunlight.
• Store away from children.
• Babies require more than just infant formula or solids to thrive.
• Administer prepared feed within 30 minutes; otherwise, bacterial contamination may occur. Dispose of any remaining feed.
• Maintaining infant food hygiene is crucial for a baby's well-being.
• Insufficient scoops will result in inadequate nutrient intake for the baby due to insufficiently concentrated formula.
• Exceeding the recommended dosage is inadvisable, as the concentrated formula lacks the necessary hydration for the baby.
• Avoid heating infant formula in a microwave; severe burns may occur.
• A healthcare professional should guide the use of infant formula or infant milk substitutes, advising on both necessity and correct administration.
