Bacteria needs 3 things to flourish: moisture,
food and warmth. Your baby's formula provides all
these things. To restrict the growth of bacteria...
- Cover and store any formula, you prepare in advance,
in the body of your refrigerator, not in the door.
- Don't keep made-up formula for more than 24 hours,
even though it's been refrigerated.
Safety Tip! Bottles of prepared
formula should not be left on benches until used.
Bacteria flourish on moisture, food and warmth.
Storing formula in the refrigerator helps to restrict the
growth of bacteria.
Don't carry warm formula, as bacteria can quickly grow in the warm milk.
If formula is prepared in the bottle, ensure that the contents are
icy cold and transported in an insulated container and only heated when
needed.
Unless you have access to a refrigerator while you're out, it's best
to take the bottle of boiled water and add the powder at the last
minute. (Measure the correct number of scoops into a small container
to take with you).
