====Making Up a Formula Bottle====
All your equipment must be washed first and then sterilised before making a bottle up. So once this is done and you have cleared and cleaned a work surface, start by boiling the kettle. Place your bottle on a clean surface and remove the top, leaving the teat covered by the lid, fill your bottle with just boiled water to the required amount and replace the lid. You then need to follow the manufacturing instructions on how to prepare a formula feed. To cool your feed, place the bottle with the lid tightly secures secured into a jug of cold water until it is at your desired temperature.
