The first weeks MAKING UP A FEED Before making up a feed, boil the kettle, clean the surface you are going to use and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and hot water. When making up infant formula milk use fresh tap water to fill the kettle. After it has boiled let the water cool for no more than half an hour. Always put the boiled water in the bottle first. Always check the water level is correct. Stand the bottle on a clean surface. Keep the teat and cap on the upturned lid of the steriliser. Avoid putting them on the work surface. 16
The first weeks Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Loosely fill the scoop with milk powder and level it off without compacting it. Only use one scoop of powder to 30 ml or 1 oz water. Never leave your baby alone with a bottle as a way of getting him or her off to sleep. There’s a danger of choking. Holding the edge of the teat, put it on the bottle. Screw the retaining ring into the bottle. Cover the teat with a bottle cap. Shake the bottle until the powder is dissolved. Add the milk powder to the water. Making up a feed with too much powder can make your baby ill. FEEDING YOUR BABY Before feeding your baby, cool the bottle of milk by holding the bottle under cold running water with a cap covering the teat. Always check the temperature of the milk by dropping a little onto the inside of your wrist. It should feel just warm to touch (not hot). When feeding your baby, keep the teat full of milk, otherwise your baby will take in air. If the teat flattens while you are feeding, pull gently on the bottle to release the vacuum. If the teat blocks, start again with another sterile teat. BOTTLE FEEDING HELP AND ADVICE If you want help or advice on bottle feeding, talk to your midwife or health visitor, or to other mothers with experience of bottle feeding. 17
