Preparation

Directions for Use:

Proper hygiene, handling and storage are important when preparing Fortified Human Milk. Failure to follow these directions could result in severe harm.
1. Add fortifier to desired quantity of human milk, fortified human milk or to any Similac® Special Care® preterm infant formula using the Similac Liqui-Mix™ System as specified by a health care professional.
2. Gently swirl to mix.
3. Warm as per usual nursery practices.
4. Cover and refrigerate unused liquid fortifier after opening; use within 24 hours or discard.
5. If feeding is not used immediately, cover prepared mixture and store in refrigerator. Use within 24 hours¹ or according to hospital procedure.
6. Once feeding begins, use within 1 hour or discard. For tube feedings, hang for no more than 4 hours.¹

Preparation

Directions for Use:

Proper hygiene, handling and storage are important when preparing Fortified Human Milk. Failure to follow these directions could result in severe harm.

2. Gently swirl to mix.
3. Warm as per usual nursery practices.
4. Cover and refrigerate unused liquid fortifier after opening; use within 24 hours or discard.
5. If feeding is not used immediately, cover prepared mixture and store in refrigerator. Use within 24 hours¹ or according to hospital procedure.
6. Once feeding begins, use within 1 hour or discard. For tube feedings, hang for no more than 4 hours.¹
