Errors in preparation of infant feeds

Abstract

Recent investigations have shown that mistakes are commonly made in preparing bottle feeds for babies. Mothers were found not to count, or to lose count of the number of scoops of powder added. Some added heaped scoopsful of powder while some added an extra scoop of milk powder ‘for good measure’. Even those who thought they were following the manufacturers' instructions were still making errors.
