For different meal times and snacks e.g. dessert, you can flavour it (e.g. fruit jelly, for puree preparation or as a yoghurt alternative)

Neocate Spoon – When to use it

Weaning can be an anxious and challenging time for parents of infants with CMA and MFPA but it is important to try and introduce new tastes and textures and increase the level of nutrient intake, critical for growth. Neocate Spoon offers a worry free and nutritious way for parents to introduce these new tastes and textures whilst increasing their nutritional intake.

Neocate Spoon is also useful beyond the weaning period and throughout early childhood until tolerance is established. It can be used on its own or to boost the nutritional content of foods in the diet.

Neocate Spoon encourages nutritional intake in older infants who are struggling with the transition onto follow-up hypoallergenic formula.

It provides a good source of calcium and can be considered as a helpful palatable alternative to dairy foods.

There is no upper age limit for its use.

The use should be determined based on the individual requirements of the child.
