Pre NAN is for use only under medical supervision. The following feeding table can be used as a guide.

The daily quantities should be divided into the desired number of feedings. The volume of water and the weight of Pre NAN powder should be measured precisely.

(Weight of infant in grams) - (total daily amount of water in ml) - (total daily quantity of Pre NAN powder in grams) - (total daily quantity of prepared formula in ml)**:

• 1000g - 140ml - 25g - 155ml.

• 1400g - 200ml - 35g - 220ml.
• 1600g - 225ml - 40g - 250ml.
