How to make milk formula?
When preparing formula milk, we must always follow the instructions on the packaging. Different types of formula milk might have different preparation methods. To secure good digestibility and getting the right nutrition, it is important for us to follow the indicated milk powder and water amount.

- Clean and sanitize the bottles. Prepare the milk bottle immediately before feeding and not ahead of time.
- Always boil the water that you mix the formula with.
