Care of Bottles and Preparation of Formula 

7/5/2016

 
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO STERILIZE YOUR BABY’S WATER, BOTTLE OR NIPPLES. Washing them in a dishwasher or in hot soapy water and rinsing them thoroughly is adequate.

Several types of formulas are available on the market, including Similac Pro Advance.

1. Powdered formula is mixed like instant coffee. A scoop of powdered formula is added for each 2 ounces of water and stirred. Follow directions on the formula can to ensure that the right amount of water is added.

2. Ready-To-Use formula comes in small disposable bottles and quart cans. It needs no preparation and is very convenient, but more expensive than powdered formula.
​

​Most tap water is safe for mixing formula for your baby. If you use bottled water, we recommend that you buy water with fluoride added.
