Based on your child’s weight, use the enclosed scoop to measure out the amount of powder based on the above table. Give this amount twice a day. Mix it in any beverage that you wish, although orange juice is an excellent choice based on taste. The amount of beverage listed in the table is only a suggestion.
For infants weighing under 10 kg, consult a physician. SPECTRUM NEEDS has not been tested in infants, although none of the individual ingredients are contra-indicated in infants or expected to be harmful. The amount provided should be calculated based on body weight and the infant’s condition. Suggestion: Calculate the amount on the proportion of 1 gram of powder for every 7 kg of body weight.
It is recommended to give less product in the first few days, in order to get your child used to the taste and to reduce the possibility of nausea.
Suggestion:
- Give 25% of the dose in the above table for both doses on the first day.
- Give 50% of the dose in the above table for both doses on the second day.
- Give 75% of the dose in the above table for both doses on the third day.
- Give the full amount of the dose in the above table for all days thereafter.
The above proportions do not need to be exact, and can be “eyeballed”. Alternatively, you can use a gram scale.
If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, consult physician before use.
