Use cold or lukewarm liquid.
Use a small volume to ensure full dose is consumed.
Consume within 10 minutes.
Do not mix with juice or soft drinks.

On the breast
Secure that the drops do not “fall-off”.
Avoid contact between the skin and the opening of the bottle/tube.
**When given on the breast there is a risk that the baby does not get the full dose. Contact with skin may ruin of the quality of the product, due to risk of contamination.

If by accident the drops end up in the eye, chin or nose of the baby, it will not cause harm.
