Making Up Milk
To make 1 litre of milk: Mix 170 g of powder with 850 mL of warm water.
Add half the water first and mix to a paste. Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Pre-boil the water to ensure it is sterilised. If the water is too hot, it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold, it will be difficult to disperse the powder. An electric whisk can be used for mixing.
Milk can be stored in the fridge for up to a day or frozen for up to 2 weeks. Once thawed, discard any unused milk and wash feeding utensils thoroughly.
