Here's a short, easy guide for making up bottle feeds safely for bottle feeding your newborn baby.
Just for reference my daughter is 8 week 6 days old today.
Once you've got all of the bits, bobs and teats squeaky clean, and sterilised the rest is a walk in the park.
- Before you start be sure to wash your hands and make sure your work area is squeaky clean.
-Formula powder is not sterile so I used hot water (just boiled) to kill any potentially harmful bacteria in the powder.
-Fill the kettle with fresh cold water and bring to the boil.
-Allow the water to cool slightly to around 70 degrees.
-Take a sterilised bottle and fill with the hot water to the right level.
- Reading the instructions for your chosen powdered formula, scoop out the required amount of powder and level it off so there is no excess.
- Add this to the hot water in the bottle, screw on the teat/cap and then shake from side to side to blend.
- If you do not have the time to allow the milk to cool down, and you need your bottle ASAP! Just add an ounce less before adding the desired amount of powder. Shake this well, then open up the lid to add the the remaining once of water (cold water). This should eliminate having to sit your bottle in cold water to cool down.
- Always drop a little bit of milk onto your wrist to test the temperature.
- If it feels too hot, run the bottle under a cold tap. The milk should feel lukewarm on your skin.
