Sterilising by boiling
- Fill the kettle with fresh tap water – don’t use water
that has been previously boiled
- Boil the water. Leave the water to cool to for no longer
than 30 minutes to ensure that the water temperature remains at 70 degrees
- Clean and disinfect the work surface
- Wash hands thoroughly
- If using s cold water steriliser, shake off excess
solution or rinse the equipment using the cooled boiled water from the kettle.
- Stand the bottle on a cleaned work surface.
- Avoid putting teats & caps on work surfaces
Making up a powdered formula feed safely.
- Always put the water in the bottle first while it is
hot before adding the powdered infant formula
- Loosely fill the scoop with formula. Level it off
using the edge of a clean dry knife or the leveller provided
- Holding the edge of the teat put it on the bottle
- Cover the teat with the cap and shake until the
powder has dissolved
- Cool the formula by holding the bottom half of
the bottle under cold running water or placing the bottle in a bowl.
- Make sure the water does not touch the cap
covering the teat.
- Test the temperature of the formula on the inside
- f your wrist.
Points to consider in preparation for stage 3
- Share information on the safe preparation of a feed with all mothers even if they
have previously bottle fed (don’t assume anything)
- Ask what type of formula is being used?
- Ask how are they sterilising equipment?
- Share leaflets: Guide to bottle feeding Start4life and Simple formula guide
(UNICEF/First Steps Nutrition)
- REMEMBER RESPONSIVE BOTTLE FEEDING (formula & EBM)
- Keep baby close
- Encourage rooting
- Allow baby to take teat
- Pace feed
- Never force a full feed
- Limit the number of people offering the feed.
