Similac Sensitive Liquid Infant Formula FAQs
How should I prepare this product?
Your baby's health depends on carefully following these directions. Failure to follow these directions could result in severe harm. Ask your baby's doctor if you need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing and need to boil (sterilize) bottles, nipples and rings before use.
- Rinse can lid; shake very well; open with a clean punch-type opener
- Pour equal amounts of formula and water into bottle
- Attach nipple; swirl gently to mix
- Once feeding begins, use within 1 hour or discard
How should I store this product?
- Cover opened cans and prepared formula not used immediately
- Store in refrigerator and feed to baby within 48 hours
- Store unopened cans at room temperature; avoid extreme temperatures
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.
