Make a fresh bottle of formula every time you feed your baby. At first, this can seem fiddly. So take your time, measure everything carefully, and once you've made up a few feeds, you'll find it becomes second nature.
What do I prepare for my baby's feed?
Before you make your baby’s feed, follow these hygiene steps:
• Sterilize your baby’s feeding equipment. This includes bottles, nipples, lids, retaining rings and caps.
• Clean and disinfect the work surface you're going to use.
• Wash and dry your hands.
• Put a sterilized bottle on the clean surface.
• Use sterilized tongs to place the sterilized nipple, lid, retaining ring and cap out ready. Health Canada recommends putting all the items in a pot of water and bringing in to a rolling boil for two minutes.
Once you've done this, you’re now ready to make your baby’s feed.
