pepti-specialist-milks-1

Important feeding instructions

  • Make up each feed as required
  • For hygiene reasons, do not store made up feeds, discard unfinished feeds as soon as possible, and always within 2 hours
  • Do not heat feeds in a microwave, hot spots may occur and cause scalding
  • Never add extra scoops or anything else to your baby’s feed.
  • Never leave your baby alone whilst feeding.
  • If necessary offer cooled boiled water between feeds. Always use the scoop provided. 
  • Please note the colour of the scoop in this pack may change from time to time.

Because powdered milks are not sterile, failure to follow instructions may make your baby ill.

Wash hands and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers' instructions.

Boil freshly run water. Leave kettle to cool for 30 minutes. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water. Measure the required amount of water (refer to feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle. Do not add powder to boiling water due to risk of scalding.

Always use the scoop provided. Level off the Aptamil Pepti powder with the back of a clean knife. Do not press or heap the powder.

Add the correct measure of powder to the water. Adding too many or too few scoops can be harmful. Cap the bottle and shake vigorously for 25 seconds to dissolve the powder. Remove cap and replace with a sterilised teat.

Cool under running tap. Check temperature of feed. Feed immediately.

It’s important to be careful with the water you use to prepare a formula feed if your normal drinking water supply is either interrupted or contaminated. Follow these Food Standards Agency guidelines to make sure you prepare the baby formula safely.

Step 1Use bottled water or water from a bowser (a water tank provided by water companies) and bring it to a rolling boil. Leave it covered to cool for no more than half an hour.
Step 2If there’s no electricity or gas to boil with, bottled table, spring or mineral water can be used and the prepared feed should be used immediately. The use of unboiled bowser water should be avoided.
Step 3Some bottled water labelled as ‘natural mineral water’ may have high levels of sodium or sulphate. Read the label carefully and check that the figure for sodium (Na) is not higher than 200mg per litre and sulphate (SO or SO4) is not higher than 250mg per litre. If it is, then try to use another water. If no other water is available, then use this water for as short a time as possible.
Step 4Follow the normal instructions for making up the feed. 
Step 5Use cooled boiled water or cooled boiled bottled water for cooling the feed once it has been made up.
