Precautions

• Hydration status should be monitored.
• Never use a microwave oven to warm formula. Serious burns can result.
• Very-low-birthweight infants are particularly susceptible to gastrointestinal complications; therefore, feeding should be initiated cautiously.
• Unless directed by a physician, this formula is not intended for feeding low-birth-weight infants after achieving a body weight of 3600 g (approximately 8 lbs)
• Use this product only after feedings of lower caloric density are well-established. For improved tolerance, it is best to increase caloric density slowly, by 2- to 4-Cal/fl oz increments.
• Spitting up, abdominal distension, abnormal stools or stool patterns, excessive gastric residuals, or other signs of intestinal dysfunction have been associated with enteral feeding before the intestinal tract is ready to accommodate the regimen. At first signs of these problems, enteral feeding should be slowed or discontinued.

*Use once feeding tolerance is established.
