Water matters

To prepare the mixture, it is best to use special baby water. It has less mineralization than regular dining room. To prepare the mixture, the water does not need to be boiled, but only heated to approximately 40 °C. There are mixtures that, according to the instructions, should be filled with hotter water. Pay special attention to this! Try to give your baby a mixture close to 37 °C (body temperature).

Always check it additionally before feeding by dropping the finished product on the back of your hand - the liquid should be practically unnoticeable. If the temperature of the mixture exceeds the desired temperature, you can cool the bottle in cold water. There are also special baby bottles that have a temperature indicator.

How to properly dilute baby formula

To prepare the milk mixture correctly - it would seem that it is easier, read the instructions on the box and do as it is written. But sometimes the simplest things, especially when they concern a newborn, can simply confuse parents.

Content

You should know that not a single, even the most modern adapted formula, can completely replace breast milk. Transferring a child to artificial feeding should be a conscious and forced step, and not the advice of a friend and the desire to make life a little easier for oneself, to have freedom of movement, or one’s own guesses and assumptions that there is not enough breast milk. The deficiency that forms in a child’s body without mother’s milk cannot be compensated for by anything.

How to dilute the mixture correctly

The first thing to do is read the instructions from the manufacturer. There is always a description of how to prepare baby formula. It is worth paying attention to the following important points:

in what proportion to dilute the milk mixture (often, one scoop per 30 ml of water)
at what temperature is the mixture prepared?
recommended amount of ready-made formula for children of different ages
how long and under what conditions can open packaging be stored?

How to properly prepare formula for a newborn

The intestines and oral cavity of a healthy baby are sterile. The parent’s task is to give the baby the opportunity to gradually adapt to the environment before starting to introduce him to pathogenic microflora (in other words, microbes).

In all cases of contact with children's things, food and the child himself, be sure and always wash your hands with soap. Of course, in any case, the baby will have to get acquainted with the surrounding microorganisms, but when he is a few days old, it is too early.

Since you need to prepare the formula immediately before feeding, be prepared for the fact that you will have to do this amid the heartbreaking cries of a hungry baby. It may not be possible to calmly prepare sterile bottles in such conditions - it is better and more convenient to have at least two of them.

How long can diluted baby formula be stored?

A very common question that interests all parents is how long can prepared baby formula be stored? Ideally, the finished milk mixture is eaten immediately and is not stored. The longer the prepared mixture sits, the more chances are given for harmful microbes that love warmth and a milky environment to multiply. And not just the necessary bifidobacteria, for which you lovingly created the optimal temperature. The storage time of diluted infant formula should be kept to a minimum. Remember that the prepared milk mixture cannot be stored even in the refrigerator.

The bottle and nipple must be washed and sterilized before each preparation of the mixture. You can learn more about sterilizing feeding bottles.

What water to dilute baby formula with?

An urgent question for parents: is it possible to dilute the formula with baby water? For decades, boiled water was used to prepare the mixture. Now they have begun to think that boiling kills water, deprives it of oxygen and other trace elements. Today you won’t surprise anyone with special baby water for drinking and preparing formula. It does not need boiling, just heat it to the optimal temperature.

What are the benefits of baby water?

At all stages of procurement, water undergoes strict sanitary control
a multi-stage filter system is used for cleaning
unlike boiled, it is not deprived of oxygen and other useful microelements
in baby water, mineralization decreases (in dry mixtures they try to find the optimal ratio of microelements, and water with increased mineralization can disrupt these proportions)

If you want to use water from a well, it is better to first submit it for analysis to the sanitary-epidemiological station.

Water temperature for baby formula

Of fundamental importance for preparing the mixture is the temperature of the water, which must be indicated on the packaging. Almost all formulas now contain bifidobacteria that are beneficial for the child’s intestines. And beneficial bacteria, unlike harmful ones, are quite gentle microorganisms. At a temperature higher than that specified in the instructions, they will simply die.

In addition, of course, the water temperature simply must be comfortable for the child, 36 - 37 ºC. This is the temperature of mother's milk. Therefore, if possible, use a thermometer to prepare baby formula. Fortunately, the assortment of children's stores is now replete with products that make life easier for mothers. Well, if you don’t have a thermometer, it’s not a problem. Place a few drops of the prepared mixture from the bottle on your wrist. If the temperature of the mixture is optimal, then you will not feel it on your wrist.

It is not advisable to heat the finished mixture. Adapted infant formula is not a product that can be heated and cooled without consequences. There are beneficial bacteria there, remember? And not only. But if it happens that while you were preparing for feeding, the mixture has cooled down, warm it up under running hot water.

You cannot use a microwave to heat the prepared mixture! You will not be able to control the degree of heating of the bottle with liquid, which can lead to irreversible changes in the structure and composition of the milk formula.

The safest option for the child and gentle for the mother is to pour water into a sterile bottle in the evening and place it in the warmer. Most warmers are capable of maintaining a constant set temperature in the bottle. Pour the dry mixture into the dry mixture dispenser.

Now you can prepare the mixture on autopilot at night. All that remains to be done is to get it from the dispenser into the bottle and mix thoroughly. Just in case, do not forget to check the temperature of the prepared mixture. Ready. You can start feeding a hungry baby.

Baby formula on the go

All modern parents want to be mobile. We must pay tribute to the manufacturers of children's goods - providing food for a child on a trip has now become much easier than it was, say, in the last century. It sounds funny, of course, but that was only fifteen years ago.

If you are traveling with a small child, take with you separately water and powdered milk formula. For cars, heaters have already been invented that work in the car from the cigarette lighter. Special thermos bags are convenient, where you can put a bottle with slightly warmer water than needed. If there is not enough time to keep warm in a special bag, you can warm up a feeding water bottle by placing it in a container of other hot water, such as titanium if you are traveling on a train.

Remember, your task is to keep water and dry formula separate for as long as possible, combining them only before feeding. Of course, ready-made diluted mixtures in tetra-packs are also available for sale, but each mother decides for herself whether to use them or not.

Warm, but not hot!

You can achieve the desired water temperature by mixing hot water with cooled water (do not mix boiled and unboiled water, even if it is purchased, bottled). You can keep a bottle of water in the warmer before feeding (be sure to remove the pacifier). A high-quality thermos or thermopot, which maintains a high temperature, is very convenient for these purposes.

How long can diluted baby formula be stored?

The bottle and nipple must be washed and sterilized before each preparation of the mixture. You can learn more about sterilizing feeding bottles.

In the middle of the night

How to feed a baby formula at night? For night feeding, it is advisable to prepare everything in advance. The bottle warmer is very convenient and keeps the desired temperature. You can put a bottle with the required amount of water in it, and next to it - a portion of the dry mixture. Then at night all you have to do is pour the mixture into the water, put a nipple on the bottle and shake the food vigorously. You can pour warm water into a thermos or keep it

There is boiling water in a thermos to add to a bottle of cold water. Try to accurately measure the required amount of mixture and water so that you don’t have to do it in the middle of the night. And under no circumstances leave the prepared mixture in the heater for several hours! Before feeding, be sure to drop the prepared mixture onto the inside of your arm - you need to make sure that the mixture does not burn the baby. Don't worry, very soon all your actions will become a habit.

Attention!

Never use a microwave oven to prepare or heat infant formula. Microwaves often heat foods unevenly, so some of the formula may be too hot for your baby.

Baby formula on the go

In order to conveniently use substitutes, the manufacturer has taken a set of measures. Any container with the product contains detailed instructions that describe the process of preparing the mixture step by step.
