Any remaining leftovers must be trashed. In order to keep spoons, teats and bottles germ-free, we strongly recommend washing all used utensils in the dishwasher at 149°F (65° Celsius) or by hand with hot water and detergent. Use brushes or sponges to clean the inside and outside of the bottle and teat, with which you do not clean any other utensils except baby bottles. It is even better to boil the bottle and teat in boiling water for at least two minutes. Afterwards, let them dry well.

Yes, boiled water is best for preparing the formula. You can usually use tap water for this. Although the quality of tap water is generally very good, germs and pathogens can multiply in the pipes or taps. In order to eliminate these, boil the water. If you buy bottled water, make sure to check the label for infant food.

Bottles should not be prepared for reserve, they must be prepared fresh at all times. However, when travelling or feeding at night, parents can portion the baby formula into clean, dry bottles and store the boiled drinking water in a clean, sealed Thermos. Just before feeding, put the water into the bottle and mix it with the formula.

Never use a microwave to prepare formula. The bottle heats up unevenly, which could scald your baby’s mouth.

Important: The expiration date is written as follows dd-mm-yyyy. For example: 06-09-20 is written as 09.06.20 on formulas made in Europe.

The powdered formula should not be frozen or stored in the refrigerator, as there is a risk of spoilage due to humidity. We recommend to close the opened package well with a clip, store at ambient temperature and feed within 2 weeks. After this period, the formula will not suddenly go bad, but it cannot be excluded that some vitamins will slowly decompose and thus the actual level will no longer match the level declared on the package. For babies in the first few months this would have negative effects on their health. Opened formula should not be stored and used for longer than 3-4 weeks.
