How to prepare and give the bottle to Baby? (video)

1 – I pour the water

Use mineral water for babies) in a bottle opened for less than 48 hours and kept in the fridge once started. Add the correct amount, i.e. 30 ml per dose of powder.

2 – I level the powder

Most milk powder cans have a specially designed flat rim to level off the dose. Otherwise, remove the excess milk with the flat side dish of a clean knife.

3– I pour the powder

The important thing is not to touch the edge of the bottle with the pod and to aim well so as not to lose any milk powder. The right measure: one dose for 30 ml of water. Store the pod in the box afterwards.

4 – I stir the whole

We first close the bottle before stirring the preparation by sliding the bottle in our hands from front to back, straight. Without shaking it so as not to create lumps that could clog the nipple.

5 – I heat it

The pacifier and cap are removed before placing the bottle in the bottle warmer. We stir to homogenize the temperature and we test it by pouring a drop of milk inside our wrist.

6 – Well installed

Sit comfortably, shoulders relaxed, your baby semi-recumbent, head firmly in the crook of your elbow. Tilt the bottle so that the nipple is always full of milk.

7 – And finally the burp

At the end of the feeding, straighten your baby up straight, his torso resting against your chest, his respiratory and digestive voices well clear to let the burp air escape.

Hygiene and safety side

We no longer recommend sterilizing the bottle, but it must be impeccably clean. For this, you can wash the bottle and separate accessories either by hand, with washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher just after giving the bottle to baby.

When preparing milk, always use the measuring cup sold in the box: depending on the brands and characteristics of the milk, their density is not necessarily the same. Hence the risk of wrong dosage.
