Add warm purified water to the bottle in the ounce amount noted on the pouch.
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.
