Baby Formula Preparation

Ratio of Formula to Water

The ratio is 1 to 1. One unpacked scoop of formula (using the scoop provided in every box of formula) to one ounce of water.

Clean everything (bottle, teat and ring) in boiling water for 3 - 5 minutes
Boil new clean water using the volumes in the feeding tables below. Do not use microwaved, artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water
Cool to optimal mixing temperature: 122 F / 50 C
Fill 2/3 of the bottle with the clean boiled water
Using the measuring spoon provided and according to the instructions, add the correct number of scoops - 1 scoop per 1 fluid ounce of water
Level off with the back of a clean dry knife. Do not compress the powder
Close the bottle
Shake well until dissolved (more than 15 seconds). A small foam later should disappear by itself after a short time
Add remaining water and shake lightly again until solution is evenly distributed and diluted
Hold the bottle under cold running water. Cool to drinking temperature: 98.6 F / 37 C
Always test the temperature
Ready to feed!

While many parents do not boil the water they are preparing the formula with, it is advised to do so as it can eliminate bacteria.

Store formula powder in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate
Keep airtight and use within 3 weeks
Do not add extra scoops of powder or mix with anything else (such as regular cow milk)
If left sitting at room temperature, you should use a bottle of prepared formula within 1 hour
If refrigerated, a prepared bottle of formula should be used within 2-12 hours
