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.

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