Preparing your baby’s feed
Because powdered milks are not sterile, failure to follow instructions may make your baby ill.
1 Wash hands and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers’ instructions.
2 Boil 1 litre of freshly run water. Leave kettle to cool for 45 minutes and no longer. Measure the required amount of water (refer to feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle. Be careful of scalding. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water.
3 Using the scoop provided level off the powder with the built-in leveller. Do not press/heap the powder.
4 Add the correct measure of powder to the water. Adding too many or too few scoops can be harmful. Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle. Hold the bottle horizontally and shake from left to right for 10 seconds, then hold it vertically and shake from top to bottom for 10 seconds. The time between adding the scoops and shaking the bottle should be as short as possible.
5 Leave the bottle to stand for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken. Turn the bottle upside down just before feeding. Check temperature of feed. Feed immediately. You may notice that your baby’s stools change consistency when using this formula. This is completely normal.
Important feeding advice
– Make up each feed as required.
– For hygiene reasons, do not store made up feeds, discard unfinished feeds as soon as possible, and always within 2 hours.
– Do not heat feeds in a microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding.
– Never add extra scoops or anything else to your baby’s feed.
– Never leave your baby alone during feeding.
If you are concerned that your baby has frequent reflux or regurgitation you should speak to your healthcare professional.
