How do I prepare Holle Dutch Stage 1?
Boil fresh water and allow to cool to approximately 50°C. Pour half the required water into a sterilized bottle, add the correct number of levelled scoops (1 scoop = 4.5g), shake well, add the remaining water, shake again, and cool to approximately 37°C before feeding. Always use sterilized bottles and utensils for every feed.
How much formula does one can make?
Each 800g can of Holle Dutch Stage 1 makes approximately 200 fl oz (5.9 L) of prepared formula — equivalent to roughly 40 bottles of 5 ounces.
How long can I store opened Holle Dutch Stage 1?
Once opened, store Holle Dutch Stage 1 in a dry place at room temperature and use within 3 weeks. Always keep the lid tightly closed between uses.
How long does prepared formula last?
Always prepare formula fresh just before feeding. Prepared formula can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 hours if unused, or up to 1 hour once feeding has begun. Always discard any leftover formula after feeding.
Preparation for all powdered formulas:
Begin by using freshly boiled water for each of your baby's meals and allow it to cool down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (50 °C) before mixing it with the formula.
Pour 2/3 of the required boiled water into a clean and sterilized bottle.
Utilize the scoop provided with your formula box (note that spoon sizes may vary by brand and lot). Add the appropriate number of leveled scoops of powder, with 1 leveled scoop per 1oz / 30ml of water.
Close the bottle with the nipple and cap, then vigorously shake until all the powder has completely dissolved.
Add the remaining water to the bottle and shake it thoroughly.
Cool the formula to drinking temperature (approximately 98 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 °C), and ALWAYS test the temperature before feeding to prevent scalding or burning your little one.
Important Information:
Only use the scoop provided in the pack.
Do not alter the strength of feeds by adding extra water/scoops, and refrain from adding anything else to the milk.
Always prepare formula freshly; avoid preparing in advance. Use it immediately and discard any leftovers at the end of the feed.
Avoid heating a bottle in a microwave, as it may result in hot spots that could cause scalding.
Consume all opened formula within 21 days. Never use formula beyond its expiration date. The expiration date on the formula box/tin follows the European standard: day/month/year.
Steer clear of storing formula in areas of high heat or humidity.
