Cows Milk Allergy - powered by Nutricia Neocate

Neocate LCP was designed for infants aged 0-12 months, suffering from cows' milk allergy (CMA), Multiple Food Protein Intolerances (MFPI) or other food allergy related conditions.

Neocate LCP is not intended to replace breast milk. However, if you are unable to breastfeed your baby at this stage, Neocate LCP is nutritionally complete. That means, when taken in the correct amounts, it will meet the nutrient requirements needed for your baby’s growth and development.

Neocate LCP:

• Is hypoallergenic - based on 100% non-allergenic amino acids
• Is milk protein-free and gluten-free
• Contains all essential nutrients for infants aged 0-12 months
• Is suitable in conjunction with a weaning diet from 6 months onwards
• Contains LCPs (Long Chained Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids). These are required for brain and eye development and are also found in breast milk.

For best results, it is very important to follow carefully the directions for preparation and use.

Your child’s doctor might prescribe Neocate for:

• Cows' Milk Allergy (CMA)
• Multiple Food Protein Intolerance (MFPI)
• Food allergy associated conditions:
• Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE)
• Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)
• Other medical conditions for which an amino acid-based diet is required

Recommended intake

Each level measuring spoon (4.9g) of Neocate LCP requires 30ml (approx. 1 fluid ounce) of water to yield the recommended feed concentration (14.7%). Always use the measuring spoon that comes with the product.

The health of your infant depends on carefully following the directions for preparation and use. Incorrect preparation can make your child ill.

Preparation

How to make a bottle of Neocate LCP:    

1. Wash your hands thoroughly and clean preparation area
2. Sterilise bottles and teats
3. Boil fresh water and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes so that it feels warm to the wrist
4. Pour the required amount of water into a sterilised feeding bottle
5. Fill the measuring spoon provided with Neocate LCP and level off with a clean, dry knife. Do not press the powder into the measuring spoon. Only use the measuring spoon that comes with the product.
6. Add the prescribed number of measuring spoons of Neocate LCP to the water
7. Replace the cap on the bottle and shake until the powder has dissolved
8. Before feeding, ensure that the formula is the correct temperature by placing a few drops on the inside of your wrist    

Important:
