The steps to prepare a bottle correctly are as follows:

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Add bottled water to the bottle. If you live in a geographic area with water suitable for drinking, you can fill the bottle with tap water.
  3. Incorporate the correct amount of milk powder according to the pediatrician's instructions.
  4. Insert the nipple and shake the bottle.
  5. Heat the bottle, mainly in a bain-marie or using a bottle warmer. If possible, it is not advisable to heat the bottle in the microwave.
  6. Check that the bottle is at the right temperature before feeding the baby. To do this, a few drops of milk can be poured into the mother's hand.
