Preparing the vial – how to do it at home

Preparing a bottle for your baby is an important moment that requires not only care and attention, but also the right choice of products. There are a few simple tips to help you get everything right so that preparation is quick and easy and your child is optimally fed.

1. the right preparation

Cleanliness is the be-all and end-all. Before you start preparation, you should wash your hands thoroughly and make sure that all utensils such as bottles, teats and measuring spoons are hygienically clean. This includes either boiling the bottle or disinfecting it in a sterilizer. A clean work surface is also important to avoid contamination.

2. use the right water

Ideally, fresh drinking water should be used to prepare the bottle. If you use boiled water, it should be cooled to a temperature of around 40 to 50 degrees so as not to destroy the valuable nutrients in the milk powder. Some parents prefer bottled water that is especially suitable for babies to be on the safe side.

3. the right amount of powder and water

Make sure you mix the right amount of milk powder and water. It is advisable to follow the instructions on the milk powder packet exactly. Incorrect dosage can lead to an oversupply or undersupply of important nutrients.

Our specially developed milk powders for infant nutrition not only provide an optimum supply of nutrients, but are also highly soluble, so that no lumps form and the bottle can be prepared quickly and evenly.

4. shake the bottle properly

Once the powder is in the water, the bottle should be shaken well so that the milk powder dissolves completely. A little tip: don’t shake the bottle too vigorously to avoid getting too much air into the mixture, which could later cause your baby to have wind.

5. check the temperature

Before you give the bottle to your baby, be sure to check the temperature. You can do this by putting a few drops of milk on the inside of your wrist. The milk should be lukewarm, but not hot.

Our milk powder products have been developed in such a way that they retain their nutritional composition even with lukewarm water, resulting in a creamy, easily digestible bottle.

6. storage and fresh preparation

It is best to always prepare the vial fresh. If this is not possible, it should be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours. The bottle should not be kept at room temperature for longer than two hours. Thanks to our state-of-the-art production methods, we ensure that our milk powders have a particularly long shelf life and still remain nutritious.
