• Use as directed by your baby's physician, proper hygiene, handling and storage are important when preparing infant formula. 
• Use water that has previously been boiled at a full rolling boil for 5 minutes. Allow the water to cool to lukewarm and follow mixing instructions carefully. 
• Use only the scoop enclosed in this jar to measure Similac 1 powder. If you prepare more than one feeding, it must be refrigerated at 35° to 40° F (2° to 4° C) and used within 24 hours. Once feeding begins, use within one hour or discard.
• Standard reconstitution is one level scoop (approximately 4.4 gm) of powder for each 30 ml of water or 128.6 gm of powder diluted to 1 L in water which supplies approximately 20 calories per 30 ml.
• Consult your baby’s physician about how much your baby should be consuming. These are suggested feeding intakes; every baby is different.

• Read the label carefully before use.
• Store in a cool, dry and dark place.
• Keep away from direct sunlight.

• Infant milk substitute is not the sole source of nourishment of an infant. Careful and hygienic preparation of infant milk substitute is most essential for health. Lactose- free infant milk substitute should only be used in case of diarrhea due to Lactose intolerance. Lactose- free infant formula should be withdrawn, if there is no improvement in symptoms of intolerance.
• Continued use of infant milk substitute should not be recommended to avoid any difficulties in reverting to breastfeeding of infants after a period of feeding by infant milk substitute. In the event of recommending infant milk substitute in addition to breastmilk or its replacement during the first 6 months, keep the costs in mind. Un-boiled water, un-boiled bottles or incorrect dilution can make a baby ill. Always advise to follow instructions exactly. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks will have a negative effect on breastfeeding.
• Failure to follow these instructions can potentially lead to adverse effects on the health of your baby. Powdered infant formulas are not sterile and should not be fed to premature infants or infants who might have immune problems unless directed and supervised by your baby's physician.
