Preparation and Usage How to Open and Prepare Your Baby's Feed Whilst this product is made under strict hygienic conditions, it is not sterile. Failure to follow instructions on preparation and storage may make your baby ill. 1 Pull the safety seal and open the lid. The scoop is provided under the lid. Lift the tab, pull on the foil seal carefully and safely remove the seal and dispose of it. 2 Wash hands well. Wash and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers instructions. 3 Boil 1 litre of fresh tap water. Allow boiled water to cool for no more than 30 minutes. Measure the required amount of water (see feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle, carefully - the water is hot. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water. 4 Using only the scoop provided, add the correct number of scoops of powder (see feeding guide), levelling off each scoop with the back of a clean, dry knife. Store the scoop in suspension inside the can and replace lid. 5 Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and immediately shake vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved. Cool bottle under cold running water or in a bowl or jug of cool water until lukewarm, do not immerse the teat. Test temperature by shaking a few drops onto the inside of your wrist. Upon preparation there may be a noticeable foam, this is quite normal. Feeding Guide Birth - 12 Months Approx. Age of Baby: Birth - 2 weeks; Approx.
