To prepare formula milk correctly, follow these steps:
1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the formula milk.
2. Boil water and let it cool down to around 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature will kill any harmful bacteria in the water but will not be too hot to destroy the nutrients in the formula.
3. Measure the required amount of water using a sterilized measuring cup and pour it into a sterilized bottle.
4. Add the correct amount of formula powder to the water according to the instructions on the packaging. Use the provided scoop or measuring spoon to ensure the right ratio.
5. Close the bottle tightly and shake it well to mix the formula powder with the water thoroughly.
6. Test the temperature of the formula milk on the inside of your wrist to make sure it is lukewarm before feeding it to your baby.
Remember to always follow the instructions provided on the formula milk packaging and consult with your pediatrician if you have any concerns.
