Baby Feeding » Preparing the Feed
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when making up feeds. The nutritional balance in the feed will be upset if you make the feed too strong or too weak. Never use natural mineral water as it contains high concentrations of minerals unsuitable for infant feeds. Always use cooled boiled water.
Sterilise every piece of equipment you use. Wash your hands before sterilising, preparing and giving reeds.
As a rule of thumb, a baby needs about 150ml of milk per kg of body weight every 24 hours.
Quick and Easy
1) Fill the bottle with exactly the right quantity of cooled boiled water.
2) Measure out the scoops of formula, leveling them off with the back of the knife.
3) Add the milk powder to the water you have measured in the bottle.
4) Screw the cap of the bottle on tightly and shake well to ensure all the powder has dissolved.
