Preparation Guidelines 

Only prepare one bottle at a time.  Use only the enclosed scoop.    

The standard dilution is  14.1% (14.1g of powder made up to a final volume of 100ml with water).  The standard dilution is made by adding 1 level scoop (4.7g powder) of PKU Start to 30ml of water (approx. 1 fluid oz.) 

Follow the preparation guidelines carefully:  Incorrect preparation can make your baby ill. 

1. Wash hands well.  

2. Sterilise feeding equipment according to manufacturer’s instructions.  

3. Boil fresh water and leave to cool for no more than 30 minutes to ensure it remains at a temperature of at least 70ºC.  Do not use artificially softened water or repeatedly boiled  water. 

4. Measure out the required amount of water into the bottle.  5. Using the scoop provided, add the prescribed number of scoops of PKU start to the water,  levelling each scoop off with the back of a clean dry knife. Do not press the powder into the  scoop. 

6. Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and shake well until all the powder has  dissolved. 

7. Cool to drinking temperature (approx. 37ºC.) Always test the temperature before feeding by  shaking a few drops onto the inside of your wrist – the feed should feel warm but not hot.

Any formula remaining in the bottle after 1 hour should be discarded. Do not reheat PKU start once feeding has started. Do not heat PKU start in a microwave as uneven heating may occur and could cause scalding. Do not boil PKU start. Infants should be supervised at all times when feeding. Regular teeth cleaning is recommended.
