Baby formula is designed for infants a year old or younger who aren't breast-fed.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers these suggestions for safe preparation and use of baby formula:* Wash bottles and nipples with soap, and sterilize them by boiling for 10 minutes.
* Follow instructions carefully for mixing formula. Adding the wrong amount of water can lead to serious health problems for baby.
* Store unmixed formula in areas that are cool and dry with a plastic lid on top of the can.
* Store mixed formula in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
* Carefully warm up a bottle by setting it in hot water -- never boil or microwave it.
* Throw away any formula that baby doesn't eat. Don't save it for later.
