BP-100™ can be eaten as a biscuit directly from the pack, or crumbled into water and eaten as porridge. To make a porridge use 2dl of boiled drinking water per bar (2 tablets of 28.4 g each).
One bar of BP-100™contains 300 kcal or 1,254 kJ, which is comparable to 300 ml F-100 milk. For each bar of BP-100™ the drinking water intake should be at least 2,5-3 dl.
For children between 6 and 24 months of age BP-100™ should preferably be given as porridge.
Always feed small, but many meals (6 meals per day in the initial phase of the rehabilitation) to avoid overloading of the intestine, liver or kidneys. Also secure that the total energy intake is not exceeding the recommended level to avoid heart failure. An average recommended energy intake would be 30 kcal per kg body weight per meal corresponding to 1 tablet of BP-100™ per meal for a child of 5 kg.
Avoid sudden changes in the daily energy intake.
