Just like the name says, this product is used right out of the container. 

• Ready-to-use (also called ready-to-feed) formula is sterile and safe for your baby as is. 
• Ready-to-use formula comes in single use bottles as well as larger containers for multiple feedings. 
• Always follow the manufacturer’s directions on the label. 
• It is very important that your hands and the place where you prepare the bottles are clean and that feeding equipment is sterilized. 
• Never add extra water to make the formula thinner as this is dangerous for your baby. 
• Never mix any other kind of food, drink or type of formula in your baby’s bottle. Adding cereal to your baby’s bottle won’t help them sleep and can cause choking. 
• Bottles prepared ahead of time need to be covered and stored in the refrigerator. Throw them out if you haven’t used them within 48 hours. 

How to Use and Store 

• Your baby should start a new bottle at each feeding. 
• After feeding begins, use the formula within one hour or discard. 
• After each feeding, throw away any unused formula. Never reuse, reheat or put it in the fridge for later use. 
• If using formula that comes in a container with more than one serving in it:
  • once opened, cover the container and store it in the refrigerator. 
  • use the entire bottle of formula within 48 hours. 
  • throw out any unused formula that has been open for over 48 hours. 

How to Make Ready-to-Feed Formula

Warming the Bottle Before Feeding 

• Most babies like to drink their formula at room temperature. 
• You can warm the bottle by placing it in a bowl of warm water. 
• Never warm bottles in a microwave oven as it causes hot spots and can burn your baby’s mouth. 
• Check the temperature of the formula by placing some drops on the inside of your wrist.
