Preparing your baby's feed Because powdered milks are not sterile, failure to follow instructions may make your baby ill. 1. Wash hands and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers' instructions. 2. Boil 1 litre of freshly run water. Leave kettle to cool for 3 minutes and no longer. Measure the required amount of water (refer to feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle. Be careful of scalding. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water. 3. Using the scoop provided, level off the powder with the built in leveller. Do not press/heap the powder. 4. Add the correct measure of powder to the water. 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 1 seconds, until the powder is dissolved. 5. Cool under running tap. Check temperature of feed. Feed immediately. Due to the blend of ingredients in Aptamil® comfort, the formula can separate once prepared. If this occurs, shake the bottle vigorously to mix and use as normal. You may notice that your baby's stools change consistency when using this formula, this is completely normal. Important feeding & storage advice - Make up each feed as required. - Do not heat in a microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding. - Never add extra scoops or anything else to your baby's feeds. - If necessary, offer cooled boiled water between feeds. - Never leave your baby alone during feeding. - For hygiene reasons, do not store made up feeds, discard unfinished feeds as soon as possible, and always within 2 hours.
