  • Pour the milk powder in the pouch into the bottle and close it.
  • Mix the milk thoroughly by swirling until any clumps are gone.
  • Feed the baby within 2 hours of preparation. Throw out any leftover milk after feeding.
  • Never freeze rehydrated milk.

Storage

    • Reseal and refrigerate opened pouches. Discard any unused powder after 3 days.
  • REHYDRATED MILK

    • Freshly prepared rehydrated milk may be immediately refrigerated for 24 hours.

Caution

Powdered breast milk is not sterile and not adequate for premature infants. For infants with immunological conditions, please consult your baby’s doctor.
