Preparing your baby's feed

Whilst this product is made under strict hygienic conditions, it is not sterile. Failure to follow instructions on preparation and storage may make your baby ill

Step 1

Wash hands well. Sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers’ instructions.
Step 2

Boil 1 litre of fresh tap water. Allow boiled water to cool for no more than 30 minutes. Measure the required amount of water (see feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle, carefully – the water is hot. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water.
Step 3

Using the scoop provided, add the correct number of scoops of powder (see feeding guide), levelling off each scoop with the back of a clean dry knife. Replace plastic lid on can.

Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and shake well. Cool bottle under cold running water or in a bowl or jug of cold water until lukewarm. Test temperature by shaking a few drops onto the inside of your wrist.

Important feeding information

We recommend preparing each feed in individual bottles when required.
For hygienic reasons, discard unfinished feed in the bottles as soon as possible, and always within 2 hours.
For older babies, made-up milk can be added to food.

Do not add extra powder or water to make the feeds stronger or weaker and do not press powder into scoop, using too much or too little powder can make your baby ill.
Never add any food to the milk in your baby’s bottle.
Do not warm feeds in a microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding.
Remember, cows’ milk should not be used as a drink during the first year.

Scoop may become submerged in the powder during transit.
