Mothers whose children are breastfed do not have to worry about feeding their babies, because there is always food for them.
But for parents who feed their children with formula, things are more difficult.
To prepare “breakfast” or “dinner” for a baby, you need to make sure you have a bottle, the formula itself, and water of the right temperature.
And if at home everything you need is usually at hand, then on a walk it is more difficult.
That's why sometimes adults take desperate steps.
They decide to prepare formula at home, then pour it into a thermos, and when the child asks to eat, fill a bottle with it and feed the “starving” one.
However, child health experts unanimously say, even shout, that this is definitely not the way to do it.
The whole point is that the prepared milk mixture is a perishable product. It should be consumed immediately after preparation.
If this is not done, then in just 20-30 minutes, a variety of bacteria will begin to actively develop here, and, as you understand, they are far from safe.
But you can’t sit at home with your child all the time to have the opportunity to prepare fresh formula for him!
Of course, you shouldn't do this - just the next time you go for some fresh air with a stroller, go out to visit someone or go to a clinic, take a sterilized bottle with the required amount of dry mixture inside. And pour the required amount of boiled and cooled to 40-45 degrees water into a thermos.
When it's time to feed, fill the bottle with water from a thermos and offer it to your baby.
