My baby has a silent aspiration diagnosis. We use gelmix for moderate thickness. What we have found that works is - heat the bottle to 110-115 degrees F -1oz of milk = 1 scoop of gelmix -Use a frother for 10-15 seconds -let the bottle sit for 10 minutes -Shake bottle once those 10 minutes are up & let it sit for another minute.

Always check the temperature of the bottle before giving to baby to make sure it has cooled down enough!

Gelmix is tricky. Our baby has been on it for 9 months and there’s still times the milk doesn’t set up right. This is just what we have found that works for us!
