Making a bottle with a prep machine typically involves adding formula and then using the machine to dispense water in specific stages.
According to the provided information, the process involves several key steps:
- Measure out the formula and add it directly to the clean baby bottle.
- Place the bottle on the stand provided by the prep machine.
- The machine dispenses a hot shot of water into the bottle. This hot water is used to mix and dissolve the formula properly.
- Once the hot shot is added, add the lid (nipple, collar, and cap) to the bottle and shake it thoroughly to ensure the formula is fully mixed with the hot water.
- Place the bottle back on the stand.
- The machine will then top it up with cold water to reach the desired volume and temperature, making the bottle ready for feeding.
This method ensures the formula is mixed with hot water first, potentially helping to sterilize the powder and dissolve it completely, before being cooled to a suitable feeding temperature.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Preparation: Ensure the machine is filled with water and ready to use. Have your clean bottle and measured formula ready.
- Adding Formula: Put the correct amount of formula scoops into the bottle. For more on formula feeding basics, see [this helpful guide](https://www.example.com/formula-feeding-guide - placeholder link).
- Machine Interaction: The machine takes over dispensing the precise amount of hot and then cold water.
| Step | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Add formula to bottle | Prepare the base ingredient |
| 2 & 7 | Place bottle on stand | Position for machine interaction |
| 3 | Machine adds hot shot | Dissolve formula, potentially sterilize |
| 4 & 6 | Add lid & Shake bottle | Mix formula thoroughly with hot water |
| 8 | Machine tops up with cold water | Achieve final volume and feeding temperature |
Following these steps ensures the bottle is prepared accurately and efficiently using the prep machine.
