| Preperation and Usage: | Preparing the feed
Please follow preparation and feeding instructions carefully; failure to do so may make your baby ill, as powdered milks are not sterile.
1 Wash hands and sterilise all equipment following the manufacturers' instructions
2 Boil 1 litre of freshly run water and leave to cool for no longer than 30 minutes. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water.
3 Measure the required amount of water into a sterilised bottle (referring to the feeding guide).
4 Using the scoop provided, add the correct number of scoops of powder - 1 level scoop of powder to each fluid ounce of water (approx. 30ml). Level off the powder using the scoop leveller. Do not press the powder.
5 Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and shake well until all the powder has dissolved (approx. 15 seconds).
6 Cool to drinking temperature (approx. 37°C) by holding the bottle under cold running water, and feed immediately. Always test the temperature of the milk before feeding.

Babies from 6 months onwards need about 500 ml - 600 ml of HiPP Organic follow on milk per day, either as a drink, on cereals or added to other foods. However, this is only a guide and your baby may need more or less than this. If you require more advice, please consult your health professional.
Feeding information
- Only use the scoop provided in the pack.
- Do not make feeds weaker or stronger than indicated by adding extra water/scoops, and do not add anything else to milk feeds.
- For hygiene reasons, always freshly prepare feeds and do not prepare in advance.
- Use made-up feeds immediately, and discard anything left over at the end of the feed.
- Do not heat feeds in a microwave - hot spots may occur which could cause scalding.
- A responsible person should be with your baby during feeding.
- Please clean your baby's teeth regularly when they appear.
- Introduce a cup or beaker as soon as possible to prevent prolonged/frequent contact of teeth with milk feeds which may increase the risk of tooth decay. |
