- We recommend preparing each feed as required. Opened sachets should be used immediately or discarded. Use according to normal hospital procedures for handling breast milk.
- Expressed breast milk can be frozen and fortified once thoroughly defrosted. If frozen breast milk is used, gradually defrost in refrigerator (under 4 ºC). DO NOT use a microwave oven or allow to defrost at room temperature. Ensure thorough mixing prior to feeding
- Not suitable for use in infants with diagnosed cows’ milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance and metabolic congenital diseases such as galactosaemia/glucose-galactose malabsorption or for vegetarian diets.
- When using the product with very low birthweight infants (VLBW – 1.5 kg or less):
- Regularly monitor and assess blood nutrient levels.
- For enteral use only.
- Do not use any other nutritional supplements to fortify breast milk unless medically indicated.
- It may not be necessary to fortify breast milk collected less than 2 weeks post-partum, as it is particularly rich in nutrients.
CAUTION
- When possible it is recommended that expressed breast milk be analysed in order to define a corresponding fortification strategy.
- For tube feeding: once fortified breast milk is prepared, do not keep at room temperature longer than 4 hours.
- If using banked breast milk, ensure that it is pasteurised.
