How to prepare a mixture of children?
There are such types of mixtures:
- ready for use;
- concentrated;
- powdered.
Children at risk, born before 37 weeks of age orweighing less than 2500 g, the third type is not recommended. Strong and healthy kids will do any. Wash cups, bottles, nipples, spoons with hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly. Place in a saucepan, pour water, bring to a boil - two minutes is enough. Let's start cooking:
- A ready-to-use mixture does not require the addition of liquid. Pour the contents of the container into a sterile bottle. Do not pour more than you need. Add as needed.
- Concentrated diluted with boiled water at room temperature. Shake the makeup before mixing. Pour a measured portion into a bottle that already contains the right amount of water.
- Powdery mix with hot (+ 70 ° C) boiled water, for convenience use a thermometer. Cool the contents before feeding.
Thus, each type of mixture has its own waycooking. Determine the volume of the mixture will help the instruction from the manufacturer. Use a measuring cup and a shovel. Attach the pacifier and cap, shake well. Check the temperature of the mixture on the inside of the wrist, if it is hot - cool it with ice or a jet of water. Make sure that there is no tap water in the bottle ring. To warm up, do not use a microwave oven - uneven heat creates "hot spots" and burns the mouth cavity.
