How should BabyD be given?

Administer BabyD when your infant is in a relaxed state after feeding and winding. BabyD is odourless and tasteless making it easier for your baby to take.
Instructions for Use
Shake the bottle well before use. Remove the cap by pushing it down and turning it anticlockwise. Remove the syringe from the wrapping, insert it into the opening at the neck of the bottle and dispose of the plastic wrapping immediately. Turn the bottle upside down, draw back the plunger of the syringe to the 0.2 mL/5µg VitD mark and line up the end of the plunger with the external black outline. Return the bottle to upright position and remove the syringe. Place the open end of the syringe into your infant’s mouth and press the plunger down slowly to deliver the contents. After use replace the cap back on the bottle, disassemble the syringe and wash parts in sterilised water.
As an alternative, BabyD can be administered on a sterilised spoon using the syringe provided to measure the dose.
