🍼 Measuring and prepping a baby bottle
Powdered formula is not sterile and scoop sizes are not universal.
Step-by-Step
1. What to prepare
Wash hands, clean the work surface and clean and sterilise feeding equipment. Measure water first and add the exact powder amount with the scoop supplied for that product.
2. What to check
Prepare one feed at a time where possible; cool safely before offering, never microwave, never prop a bottle and discard milk left after a feed. Do not dilute, concentrate or add cereal.
3. In Singapore
Ask the maternity team or polyclinic to demonstrate hygienic preparation of the exact infant formula product using safe water and its own scoop. Cool before feeding, do not microwave or prop bottles, and discard feed leftovers. In Singapore’s heat, do not assume a room-temperature storage period remains safe outdoors; use a reliable cold chain and a local storage table.
