Preparing a bottle-feed

If you are thinking about bottle-feeding your baby with formula, it’s useful to know how to make up a feed before the time comes. Storing or freezing made-up feeds is not recommended, so you’ll need to make up a new bottle for every baby’s feed.

Always follow instructions on pack for correct preparation advice.
