How to determine mix temperature

Though there is an opinion that it is far simpler to feed from a small bottle, than a breast, mothers of children bottle-fed babies face a number of nuances. For example, it is necessary to check every time temperature of children's dairy mix inadvertently not to burn the kid.

Instruction

1. To define whether nursery dairy mix is rather warmed up, it is possible "approximately", without use of special measuring devices. Drip a small amount of milk to yourself on a wrist or on an internal part of an elbow where skin thin and gentle. Temperature of mix has to be the same as body temperature, or is one degree higher. If temperature of liquid is not felt — it is possible to feed baby. Cool too hot milk.

2. Warm up a small bottle with dairy mix in the special electric heater for baby food. It will allow to warm up milk evenly. Almost all heaters are supplied with the thermostat and show food temperature. In modern models by means of the handle or buttons you will be able to expose the necessary temperature. Usually it is 37-38 degrees.

3. Carefully mix a small bottle with dairy mix if you warmed it in the microwave — milk can unevenly get warm. Some pediatricians do not recommend to warm mix in the microwave oven since it can lead to loss of its useful properties.

4. If you part baby food with hot water, cool it up to the necessary temperature, having put a small bottle in the container with cold water. Mix before milking to the child. Pay attention to the label: some types of special and medical dairy mixes cannot be parted with very hot water.

5. Keep in mind that some babies prefer a certain temperature of milk. Some with pleasure drink only very warm mix, and will refuse cooled down. Others love milk and kefir of room temperature. Watching the kid, you will find the most acceptable temperature of mix.
