Making Up Milk
To make 100 mL of milk: Mix 22 g of powder (3 scoops) with 85 mL of warm water.
To make 1 litre of milk: Mix 220 g of powder with 850 mL of warm water.
Add about half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then make up with 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 larger quantities.
Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or frozen for up to 2 weeks. It may be useful to store frozen milk in small portions (e.g. ice cube trays), so that the required daily feed volumes can be easily thawed out. Once thawed, discard any unused milk and wash feeding utensils thoroughly.
