If you bottle feed your baby or if you are planning on bottle feeding your new arrival, it is very important that you know how to handle baby bottles to prevent your baby from getting sick.  You want to have a healthy and a happy baby.  Keep your baby’s bottles clean and stored in the fridge to prevent any harmful bacteria or germs that could cause stomach problems.

Wash all bottles, nipples, and bottle caps in warm water with a mild soap, or in the dishwasher.  When you have washed the bottles rinse then and out them in boiling water for five minutes prior to filling them with formula or breast milk.

Before you mix the formula you must boil the water you will be mixing it with and let it completely cool.  When the water is boiled it takes most of the additives out that could ham your baby.  When you use a new clean bottle use it one time only then it will need to be cleaned again.

If you need to take any formula out with your baby, be sure that it is drank by your baby within an hour if it is mixed or if it is breast milk.  You could also use powered formula if you formula feed your infant and take the boiled water separately this will allow you to mix the formula as it is needed.

Any formula that is opened will not keep very long.  Amy formula that is mixed and not used within a twenty four hour period should be thrown away.  Ready to use formula is good for forty eight hours after it is opened.  Powered formula is good for one month after it has been opened.  If your baby has not drank all the formula in their bottle, you need to throw the unused portion away, germs will go into the leftover milk.
