How to prepare milk powder correctly?
For mothers, preparing milk powder correctly is an important step to ensure that their babies drink nutritious milk. Below we explain in detail the steps to prepare milk powder correctly from 4 aspects, so that your baby can drink more healthy and nutritious milk.
Preparation

Secondly, prepare the milk powder. Different brands of milk powder have different ingredients. Therefore, when choosing milk powder, you need to read the instructions carefully and prepare according to the proportions in the instructions. At the same time, you need to shake the milk powder can before using it, and try to prevent the milk powder from getting damp and deteriorating.
Steps
1. Boil water and then cool it to about 60 degrees. Be careful that the water temperature is not too high, otherwise the nutrients of the milk powder will be destroyed. It is recommended to use marble tables and other methods to cool down so that you can better control the water temperature.

3. Pour water cooled to about 60 degrees into the bottle, paying attention to maintaining the ratio of water and milk powder. Then, please use a professional bottle brush to clean the surface and inside of the bottle mouth to ensure a clean taste.
4. Cap the bottle tightly with the nipple and shake until the milk powder is completely dissolved. The poured milk needs to be in contact with the air and needs to be given to the baby as soon as possible.
