Preparation of infant formula and follow-on formula
Boil fresh drinking water and allow to cool to approx. 40–50°C.
Pour the desired amount of boiled water (see packaging) into a bottle.
Using scoop provided, add the correct number of scoops of powder. Level off using the scoop leveller. Do not press the powder.
Close the bottle and shake vigorously several times.
Cool to drinking temperature (approx. 37°C). Check the temperature. After preparing HiPP AR Special Formula, leave to stand for 7 minutes to thicken. Then shake again briefly and check whether it has cooled down to drinking temperature (approx. 37 °C).
Seal the bag securely, e.g., with a standard household clip. Use the tab in the lid to store the spoon.
* To avoid damaging the natural lactic acid cultures, please do not prepare the feed with water that is too hot.
** Please refer to the recommendations on the packaging for the amount to prepare and dosage.

Pour the required amount of water (see packaging) into a beaker.
Using scoop provided, add the correct number of scoops of powder. Level off using the scoop leveller. Do not press the powder.
Stir and check the temperature (approx. 37°C).
Seal the bag well, e.g., with a standard household clip. Use the tab in the lid to store the spoon.
* To avoid damaging the natural lactic acid cultures, please do not prepare the food with water that is too hot. If you use tap water for cold preparation, let the water run until it flows from the tap.
** Please refer to the recommendation on the packaging for the amount to drink and dosage.
How hot does the water need to be to dissolve the milk powder?
Please allow the boiled water to cool to approx. 40°–50 °C – this will happen faster if you place a measuring cup/bottle with boiled water in a cold water bath for a few minutes. Why 40°–50 °C? This temperature has proven to be optimal because the milk powder dissolves well and the natural lactic acid cultures and heat-sensitive vitamins are well protected.
How do I determine the right drinking temperature?
You can check the drinking temperature with the wrist test: Put a few drops of milk formula on the inside of your wrist. The temperature of the milk should feel comfortable—not too hot and not too cold. Alternatively, a thermometer can help.
Can I also prepare the milk formula in the microwave?
If the milk formula is prepared according to the instructions on the packaging, it is not necessary to heat it in the microwave, as the prepared bottle is already at drinking temperature.
Can I keep prepared milk formula warm?
For hygiene reasons, prepared milk formula should always be fed immediately. If your baby cannot finish their bottle straight away, only prepare a small amount of milk formula at first. If your baby then takes a break, you can prepare another small amount.
Storage
The contents of opened milk cartons should be used within 3 weeks. The foil bag guarantees optimum freshness and flavor protection. Milk formulas should generally be stored in a cool (at room temperature), dry place, protected from sunlight and away from strong-smelling substances or foods. For optimal storage, HiPP offers the practical HiPP milk box (free for BabyClub members).
