How To Use:

Preparation:

• Wash your hands thoroughly and ensure all utensils (bowl, spoon, scoop) are clean and dry before preparing the cereal.


• Boil clean drinking water for 5 minutes, then allow it to cool to lukewarm (approximately 40°C).


• Measure the recommended amount of lukewarm water (e.g., 100 ml for a standard serving) and pour it into the baby’s bowl. Refer to the packaging’s feeding table for age-specific water and scoop quantities (e.g., 4 level scoops for a 6-12 month old).


• Add the specified number of level scoops of Cerelac Wheat Cereal (e.g., 4 scoops for 100 ml water). Use the provided scoop, which should be washed and dried thoroughly before use.


• Stir until the cereal is smooth and free of lumps. Feed immediately using a clean spoon.

Serving:

• Feed only to a seated and supervised child. Serve immediately after preparation to ensure freshness and reduce the risk of microbial growth.


• Start with smaller quantities (e.g., 1 scoop with 5-6 teaspoons of water for Stage 1) for younger infants (6 months) and gradually increase as per the feeding table on the pack.

Storage:

• After opening, transfer the contents to a clean, dry, airtight container to maintain freshness.


• Use within 3 weeks of opening or by the expiry date, whichever is earlier. Store in a cool, dry, hygienic place away from direct sunlight.

Warnings and Precautions:

• Complementary Food: Infant food is not the sole source of nourishment for an infant. Mother’s milk is best for babies, and the World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months.


• Use Cerelac only on the advice of a healthcare professional regarding the need and proper method of use.


• Proper Preparation: Do not use fewer scoops than directed, as diluted feeding will not provide adequate nutrition.


• Do not use more scoops than directed, as concentrated feed will not provide sufficient water, potentially leading to dehydration.


• Hygiene: Careful and hygienic preparation is essential to prevent microbial deterioration. Use prepared feed within 30 minutes of mixing; discard any unused portion to reduce the risk of infection.


• Allergen Information: Contains Wheat and Milk. May contain Barley or Oats in some batches. Not suitable for infants with gluten intolerance or milk allergies. Consult a pediatrician if your baby has dietary restrictions or allergies.


• Supervision: Feed only to a seated and supervised child to prevent choking.


• Storage Safety: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the scoop is thoroughly washed and dried before use to avoid contamination.


• Health Concerns: If your baby experiences adverse reactions (e.g., rash, digestive issues), stop use and consult a healthcare professional immediately.


• Counterfeit Caution: Purchase from reputable retailers like Apollo Pharmacy, Amazon (sold by authorized sellers), or Nestlé’s official channels to avoid counterfeit products, which may not meet safety standards.
