Use of thickened feeds should only be considered under medical supervision.
May cause gassiness and loose stools at start. This usually subsides on its own within 1-2 weeks of use or by reducing amount used.
Do not use for infants under 6 pounds or born preterm currently under a corrected age of 2 weeks (aka 42 weeks postmenstrual age).
Do not use if galactosemia or allergy to galactomannans is suspected. Stop using if rash or other allergic reaction develops.
Moderately thick (aka honey) consistency is NOT generally recommended for infants. It can be difficult for some infants to pass this thicker consistency through a nipple and may increase risk of dehydration due to poor oral intake.

Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before preparation.
Pour desired amount of lukewarm liquid (100°-110°F) into bottle.
Sprinkle in Gelmix powder following usage recommendations. Cap and shake well for about 30 seconds, until powder is completely dissolved. Work quickly to avoid clumps.

Oral / Tube Feeding
Wait 5-10 minutes until desired consistency is reached. Mix again before feeding. Always test temperature before feeding.
Start with one scoop Gelmix (1.2g) per 3-4 fl. oz. and increase as recommended.
Add 2.4g (2 scoops or 1 stick) per 4-6 fl. oz. for slightly thick; add 2.4g (2 scoops or 1 stick) per 3-4 fl. oz. for mildly thick.

Most liquids can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance & rewarmed for feeding.
For best results, mix Gelmix with freshly expressed milk at body temperature. In a clean, sealed container, the mixture may sit at room temperature up to 4 hours or in the refrigerator up to 24 hours. The thickened mixture is also freeze–thaw stable and can be stored frozen for up to 4 months.
Gelmix may also be mixed with previously frozen or thawed milk; however once breast milk is brought to room temperature or warmed after storing in the refrigerator or freezer, it should be used within two hours. According to the CDC, breast milk should not be rewarmed more than once.
Use prepared infant formula within one hour from when feeding begins. If you do not start to use the prepared infant formula within 1 hour, immediately store the bottle in the fridge and use it within 24 hours.
Thickened water may be stored in a clean, sealed container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Then, just mix in the powder formula when ready to feed.
