Formula Preparation
If you are formula feeding your baby or must supplement breastfeeding with formula, it is important that you prepare it safety to keep your baby healthy. Watch these instructions on safe preparation of liquid concentrate and powered formula.
According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), it is recommended to use ready-to-feed formula if your baby is younger than 2 months old, was born prematurely, or has a weakened immune system. Ready-to-feed formula is sterile and is less likely to contain bacteria that can make your baby sick. If you must use powdered infant formula in the first 2 months of your baby's life, use the following steps to ensure you are preparing it safely.
