Suggested addition of energy modules to formulas

Energy module	Age	Amount of CHO/fat module added to formula	Final concentration of CHO/fat in formula (% or g/100 mL)
Glucose polymer	< 6 months	3–5 g (+ 7 g CHO from infant formula^a)	10–12
	6 months–1 year	5–8 g (+ 7 g CHO from infant formula^a)	12–15
	> 1 year	8–18 g (+ 12 g CHO from pediatric formula^a)	20–30
Fat emulsion (50% fat content)	< 1 year	3–5 ml (+ 3.5 g fat from infant formula^a)	5–6
	> 1 year	9 ml (+ 4.5 g fat from pediatric formula^a)	9
