How to prepare your baby’s feed
Watch our preparation video for the safe way to make SMA® First Infant powder formula milk or follow the step-by-step instructions below.
And here is how you prepare it step by step
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.
1
Wash hands well. Wash and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers’ instructions.
2
Boil 1 litre of fresh tap water. Allow boiled water to cool for no more than 30 minutes so the water can reach the recommended temperature of 70°C. 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.
3
Using only 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. Store the scoop in suspension inside the can and replace lid.
4
Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and shake well until powder is fully dissolved. Cool bottle under cold running water until lukewarm. Test temperature by shaking a few drops onto the inside of your wrist.
Your Questions, Answered

Your baby should be able to happily switch from the old formula to the new but if you would like to ease the transition, you might prefer to change over gradually. This may allow your little one time to adjust to the new baby milk.
To transition to the new milk gradually you could replace one bottle of your baby’s current milk with one bottle of your baby’s new milk each day, keeping all the other feeds of the previous one. It may be a good idea to introduce the new feed when your little one is not too tired or irritable. Continue this way, increasing the number of feeds with new milk each day until all the feeds are with the new milk.
A change in stool consistency/frequency can sometimes happen when infants are starting or switching formula, this is perfectly normal. Also, in addition to stool changes baby can be a little unsettled and also pick up a taste difference with some changes. For further guidance read our article or contact your healthcare professional or the SMA Careline®.

When making up a bottle you may sometimes notice that powder can stick to the scoop due to condensation droplets from the hot water used to make up the bottle. Baby milk powder is manufactured in an environment with strict moisture control. Once opened, it is important that the can is stored in a cool dry place, but not a refrigerator, and that moisture is removed from the scoop before placed across the rim of the can and closing with the plastic lid.
Our product labels provide a suggested feeding table but it’s important to note that this table is a guide. Feeding volume will vary from baby to baby and their demand for feeding will increase as they grow. Babies are very good at telling us when they are hungry and when they are full so you should feed your baby on demand – this is also called responsive feeding. To learn more about baby’s hunger cues you can read our article on responsive feeding. If you have any concerns about your baby’s weight please speak with your healthcare professional.
