Preparing the feed
Failure to follow instructions on preparation and storage may make your baby ill.

1. Shake the container of expressed breast milk (EBM). |
| 2. Pour 50 ml of EBM into a sterile container and add one sachet of SMA Breast Milk Fortifier. Do not attempt to mix part of a sachet. |
| 3. Place cap on container, shake well and feed. SMA Breast Milk Fortifier can be given from a bottle or via a naso-gastric tube. Discard the milk remaining after each feed. |
| 4. 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. |
| 5. Expressed breast milk can be frozen and fortified once defrosted. Defrost breast milk thoroughly and agitate sufficiently before adding the breast milk fortifier as directed above. Ensure thorough mixing prior to feeding |
