Your step by step guide to preparing Cow & Gate formula milk
If you’re looking for a simple step by step guide on how to prepare baby formula, then you’re in the right place. We’re here to make preparing your baby’s bottle as easy as 1, 2, 3.
A good place to start is to check the instructions on your formula pack, which you should always follow before you start to make your baby’s feed. After all, there are lots of different ways to bring up a baby, but only one way to safely make a bottle of formula milk. Here’s how:
- Wash your hands and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers’ instructions.
- Boil 1 litre of freshly run water - don’t use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water. Leave the kettle to cool for 30 minutes and no longer. Measure the required amount of water (refer to feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle, whilst being careful of scalding.
- Using the scoop provided, level off the powder with a clean knife or the built-in leveller if provided. Don’t press/heap the powder.
- Add the correct measure of powder to the water (please refer to the pack instructions), because adding too many or too few scoops can be harmful. Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and shake immediately, vertically and vigorously for at least 10 seconds, until all of the powder is dissolved.
- Cool under a running tap before checking the temperature of the feed. Once at the correct temperature, feed immediately.
