Similac NeoSure Powder Infant Formula FAQs
How should I prepare this product?
Your baby's health depends on carefully following these directions. Proper hygiene, handling and storage are important when preparing infant formula. Failure to follow these directions could result in severe harm. Consult your baby's doctor about the formula appropriate for your baby; the need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing powder; and the need to boil (sterilize) utensils, bottles, nipples and rings before use.
- Wash your hands, surfaces and utensils
- Pour water into clean bottle
- Add 1 unpacked level scoop (9.6 g) to each 2 fl oz of water
- Return dry scoop to can
- Cap bottle; shake well; attach nipple
- Once feeding begins, use within 1 hour or discard
How should I store this product?
- Once mixed, store bottles immediately in the refrigerator; feed to baby within 24 hours
- Store unopened or opened container at room temperature; avoid extreme temperatures
- Use opened can contents within 1 month
Do Similac products still have OptiGRO?
Yes, most Similac products have OptiGRO, our unique blend of DHA, lutein, and a form of natural vitamin E.
Does my baby need anything else besides breast milk?
No, your baby shouldn’t need to eat anything else besides breast milk, unless recommended by your baby’s doctor. It is now recommended that all infants and children have a minimum daily intake of 400 IU of vitamin D beginning soon after birth. Ask your baby’s pediatrician about vitamin D supplements and when it’s appropriate to introduce complementary foods.
Why is breast milk or formula required for babies until at least 1 year old?
During the first year, your baby will grow and develop faster than at any other time of life. What you feed your baby during the first year supports that development. If you're not breastfeeding, iron-fortified formula is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
My baby spits up after formula feeding. Should I be worried?
That depends on how much and how often. Many babies spit up a small amount after they’ve been fed. If you are concerned, talk with your baby’s pediatrician about your concerns. If your baby repeatedly spits up or vomits most of a feeding, or if you notice blood in the spit-up or vomit, call your baby’s pediatrician immediately.
Is Similac covered by WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)?
It is up to each state to determine which products they will offer through their WIC program. You should check with your local WIC agency to understand which formulas are available in your area.
