Instructions for Use:
Your baby's health depends on carefully following these directions. Proper hygiene, handling and storage are important when preparing infant formula. Failure to follow these directions could result in severe harm.

It is important to consult your baby's doctor before changing formula.
Ready to feed formula if mixed with water may not provide proper nutrition and repeated use of such feedings could cause illness.
