PREPARING THE MILK FROM THE BOTTLE
If you are going to use liquid milk when preparing the bottle , you can pour it directly and heat it without further ado. In the event that you are going to use powdered milk, you must have some other consideration that I detail below. The water you use must be mineral and still, since this water must have a specific amount of minerals that help preserve the properties of milk that are so important for the newborn. When filling the bottle, you must adhere to what is indicated by the pediatrician and add the right amount of water and milk to avoid future problems in the baby’s health, such as colic and stomach gas. With the help of a spoon you must stir well to avoid the formation of lumps.
HEAT IN A BAIN-MARIE
When preparing the bottle in a water bath, you must take a saucepan and fill it with the amount of water that you are going to add to the bottle. In this way, if they are 90 ml of milk, then you must fill said saucepan with that amount of water. Then you must put the bottle in the saucepan and start heating. Once it starts to bubble, it is a good time to remove the bottle from the saucepan. It can happen that the bottle is too hot for the baby to take it, so you can take the bottle and cool it under the tap with cold water. In this way the bottle lowers the temperature and the baby can eat without any problem.
Although most parents opt for the microwave when heating the bottle as it is much faster, experts advise heating it in a water bath as it is much healthier for the baby. It is a really easy and simple way to warm the baby’s bottle and with which the little one can feed in a few minutes.
