How to prepare a bottle feed - Aptaclub

[@jakemessitt1163]

So when the baby wakes crying for a feed, you have to tell them to wait while you boil a kettle, wait half a hour, bring the temperature of the water down. All before you can feed?

Hi. The kettle is left for 30 mins to allow the water temperature to cool down to 70 degrees. At this temperature any bacteria present will be killed off ensuring a safe feed for your little one. If the water is any hotter than 70 degrees, then this may affect the mixing quality of the formula. We do know that many parents use the “flask method” to make night time feeds a bit easier. To do this you pour just boiled water after about 15 - 20 minutes of cooling into the sterile flask and use this to make up feeds during the night (or day if you are out and about). The water in the flask should stay hot enough to make up a feed for around 4 hours, you would then pour the desired amount into a clean sterilised bottle, along with the powdered formula. All you will then need to do is to cool the feed to the right temperature for your baby, either by holding the bottle under a running tap, or by cooling the bottle in a bowl of cold water. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Gemma from the Aptamil UK team.
