JAKARTA - Formula milk is a substitute for breast milk given to babies. Usually formula milk is given when the mother is no longer able to give breast milk and needs to be added with other milk to meet the nutritional needs of the baby.

Currently, formula milk with many types of different brands is safe and healthy for babies. You can find formula milk recommendations on the internet, one of which is from the Pickybest.id site.

Formula feeding is also quite easy to do, which is one of the advantages of this formula. Unlike breast milk, which is very clean, formula is different.

If the mother gives formula milk but with the wrong technique, this will be fatal to the baby. Babies can get sick, so to reduce this, the following is an explanation of the guidelines regarding making and brewing the right baby formula.

Preparation of Tools and Materials The first thing that is important to know is the preparation of tools and materials. The tool is in the form of a baby milk bottle, as well as a thermometer, but if you don't have a water thermometer, that's okay too. As for the ingredients themselves, of course, powdered milk that you want to brew for babies.

It is important to know that for this baby bottle, it must be made from special and safe for babies. Do not use plastic because plastic will release harmful substances for babies.

Also pay attention to the pacifier, make sure the material used is a safe material. After all have been available, both tools and materials, proceed to the next step.

Keep CleanCleanliness is a very important factor that determines whether the milk given is healthy or not. Make sure before touching the tools related to the manufacture of baby milk, hands must be clean. Don't forget to wash your hands with soap and running water. If you have a cold or cough, it is better if you do this by someone else who is healthy, but if you have to, you should use a mask to make it.

After clean hands, don't forget to keep the baby's milk bottle clean too. If necessary, you can use a special tool to clean milk bottles, but if not, you can do it the conventional way.

First you can boil the water, then put the baby bottle into the water that has been cooked until it boils. Wait for about 5 minutes, then remove the bottle.

Use Boiled Water Of course, as the title suggests, you have to make sure the water you use to brew milk is water that has been boiled until it boils. It is important to ensure that the water used to brew the milk is bacteria-free water. If the water is 100% boiling, then wait for the water to cool down. If you have a water thermometer, you can measure it until the temperature drops to about 70 degrees.

But if you don't have a thermometer, you can measure it by taking a little water with a spoon and placing it on the back of your hand. If you still feel too hot, wait a little longer.

It is important for you to know that do not mix the water you cook with cold water so that the water temperature drops. This is wrong action. You have to make sure the temperature of the water you cook drops by itself and doesn't add cold water from the others, because it will be the same as the water you make brewing milk is not necessarily free from germs.

Brew Milk Right After everything has been prepared, pour the best formula of your choice directly into the baby's bottle. Remember, before that you have to pay attention to the recommended dose, don't overdo it or not, because the dosage has been adjusted to the nutrition and age of your baby.

After the milk has been poured into the baby's milk bottle, put the water you cooked earlier into the baby's bottle. Also adjust to the recommended amount of water in the milk box. Next close the baby bottle and shake the milk until no more powder is visible.

Next, make sure the milk is drinkable again by placing a small amount of milk on the back of your hand. When you feel the temperature is right, then you can give the milk to your baby.

Those are the reviews related to brewing formula milk in the right way for babies, I hope your baby and of course you also stay healthy.
