1. Wash hands and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers' instructions.

3. Using the scoop provided level off the powder with a clean knife. Do not press/heap the powder.
4. Add one scoop to every 30ml (1 fl oz) of water. Never add extra scoops or anything else to your baby's feed. Cap the bottle and shake well (for 10 seconds) to dissolve powder. Remove cap and replace with a sterilised teat.
5. Cool under running tap. Check temperature of feed. Feed immediately.

Important Feeding Instructions For hygiene reasons, do not store made up feeds. Make up each feed as required and always discard unfinished feeds after 2 hours. Do not heat in a microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding. Always use the scoop provided, please note the colour of the scoop may change from time to time. Never add extra scoops or anything else to your baby's feed. Never leave your baby alone whilst feeding.
