Preparing your baby's feed
Failure to follow instructions on preparation and storage may make your baby ill.
Feeding directly from the SMA bottle using SMA teat purchased separately:
1 SMA First Infant Milk can be fed at room temperature. If required to heat, stand the unopened bottle in warm (not boiling) water. Do not remove the feeding measure tear strip until milk has been warmed to desired temperature.
2 Wash hands well.
3 Peel off the tear strip on the side of the bottle to reveal the feeding measure. This will help show you how much your baby has consumed.
4 Shake bottle, unscrew lid from the bottle and remove the foil seal.
5 Unwrap SMA ready to use sterilised teat and holding the teat ring, screw directly onto the bottle.
6 Gently press the neck of the bottle to angle it for easier feeding.
7 If warmed, test temperature by shaking a few drops of milk onto the inside of your wrist, milk should be lukewarm.
Decanting from the SMA bottle:
1 If milk is to be decanted into a bottle, sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers' instructions. If required to heat, stand your filled bottle in warm water.
2 If warmed, test temperature by shaking a few drops of milk onto the inside of your wrist, milk should be lukewarm.

Important notice
Breastfeeding is best for babies. You should always seek the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist on the need for and proper method of use of infant milks and on all matters of infant feeding. Prolonged or frequent contact of drinks or feeds with the teeth increases the risk of tooth decay. Make sure your baby's teeth are cleaned after the last feed at night. Ask your healthcare professional or dentist for advice. Never leave your baby alone during feeding.
