Your baby may need more or less than the feeding guide above. This information is given as a guide only. Consult your healthcare professional if you require more advice. Important: Always use the scoop provided, please note the colour of the scoop in this pack may change from the time to time. All babies are different, but it can take up to 2-3 weeks to notice a difference. If used for this time and you see no difference, we recommend you talk to your healthcare professional. How to use this pack: To open, remove tamper evidence strip on the rim of the pack. There is a handy leveller built into the pack. Store your scoop in the lid so that it is keep safe and secure. Click the lid securely shut to keep your powder fresh. Preparing your baby's feed Because powdered milks are not sterile, failure to follow instructions may make your baby ill. 1) Wash hands and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturer's instructions. 2) Boil 1 litre of freshly run water. Leave kettle to cool for 30 minutes and no longer. Measure the required amount of water (refer to feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle. Be careful of scalding. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water. 3) Using the scoop provided level off the powder with the built in leveller. Do not press/heap the powder. 4) Add the correct measure of powder to the water. Adding too many or too few scoops can be harmful. Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and shake immediately, vertically and vigorously for at least 10 seconds, until the powder is dissolved. 5) Cool under running tap. Check temperature of feed. Feed immediately. Due to the blend of ingredients in Aptamil® Comfort, the milk can separate once prepared. If this occurs, shake the bottle vigorously to mix and use as normal. You may notice that your baby's stools change consistency when using this formula, this is completely normal. Important feeding and storage advice. 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 during feeding. If necessary, offer cooled boiled water between feeds.
