Proper hygiene, handling, and storage are critical when preparing newborn baby milk powder. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Wash and Sterilise: Wash your hands thoroughly. Boil the feeding bottle, nipple, and cap in water for 5 minutes to sterilise them.
2. Boil Water: Boil fresh drinking water for 5 minutes, then allow it to cool to a lukewarm temperature (approx. 40°C).
3. Measure Water: Pour the exact required amount of lukewarm water into the sterilised feeding bottle.
4. Add Powder: Use only the scoop provided inside the Similac Advance 400 g refill pack. Level the powder on the scoop without pressing it down.
5. Mix Well: Add 1 level scoop of powder for every 30 ml (1 oz) of water. Cap the bottle and shake gently until the powder is completely dissolved.
6. Test Temperature: Check the temperature of the formula on the inside of your wrist before feeding it to your baby.
