PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wash hands before preparing the feed. Clean and then sterilise all utensils by boiling for 5 minutes or using an approved steriliser.
2. Prepare each bottle separately. Use cooled safe drinking water, that has recently been boiled.
3. Tear the top of the sachet and pour all the powder into the water.
4. Always add 1 sachet to 150mL of water. Cap the bottle and shake briskly to dissolve the powder.
5. Test temperature on wrist before feeding. Feed immediately and discard unfinished formula within 2 hours.
It is safer to prepare each bottle as needed and use immediately after it is prepared. If a bottle of made-up formula is to be prepared in advance, store at the back of the fridge (2-4°C) and use within 24 hours.
Discard any refrigerated formula not used within 24 hours.
