Instructions
Mix the ingredients. Place all ingredients in a bottle and shake vigorously to combine. You may also use a small mason jar or pre-mix enough for 2-3 bottles in a blender.
Serve. Give to the baby right away or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Discard any formula that has been served to the baby but has not been finished.
Notes
I recommend for the first few days of using the formula, use half the recommended amount of powdered milk and slowly work up to the full amount, especially if your baby hasn't started eating solid food.
