Recommended amount
Babies & Children can be given to children, from birth to 12 year old with the following recommendations:
- Give 1 sachet daily.
- If desired or professionally directed, can be increased to 2 sachets a day
Preparation
- Best taken with a meal, preferably with breakfast
- Simply mix with your child's favourite cool, non-acidic foods or drinks – try sprinkling the powder over cereal, mixing it with yogurt, or dissolve in water or milk.
- Can be taken with formula milk - simply add to the bottle once it has cooled down to room temperature (as heat reduces the viability of natural bacteria).
- For breastfed babies, powder can be applied to nipple or clean finger for baby to suckle.
