We show you how to mix milk powder simply and quickly.
Do you have questions about mixing milk powder? Don’t laugh nervously — we take babies very seriously!
Here are more tips to go with the video:
• Before putting the bottle to your child’s mouth, test the temperature by tipping a little milk on to the inside of your wrist. It should feel just warm, not hot. If you need to, cool the milk by holding the bottle, with a cap covering the teat, under cold running water.
• Remember, don’t keep the bottle of milk that your child had started to drink from, for more than an hour. Try to make sure that your child finishes that feed, and if there’s any left throw it away.
• Always refer to product label on the milk packet or tin for proper storage and feeding directions.
• If you choose to pre-make and refrigerate the milk, you can keep it for 24 hours. Throw away any mixed formula that is not used after this time.
• To warm up milk from the fridge, fill a bowl with warm water and place the bottle in it for no more than 15 minutes. You can also use a bottle warmer.
