Aptamil Pepti preparation

With pepti u prepare like regular formula so mix with water 70⁰C or above. You can premake bottles using 70⁰C water and add formula and then immediately put in fridge and they last like 24hrs and you can just feed straight from fridge or just warm up. As for out and about just fill thermos with water straight from kettle just after its finished boiling. It typically stays above 70⁰C for 5-6hrs if u have a good thermos n then make bottle as normal but u will need to cool it down as obviously u can serve it at 70⁰C. It's necessary to do it this way because it contains cronobacter which can be fatal to babies and can only be destroyed/killed with water above 70⁰C. Hope that makes sense x

Oh that’s a relief 😅 thank you so much x

no if u let them cool outside the fridge u expose them bacteria u want them to be between 8⁰C-70⁰C for as little as possible as this is where bacteria thrives, so by putting them in the fridge immediately they reach below 8⁰C much quicker giving them less chance to grow bacteria x

My baby has been on Pepti for months and I always make in advance and store in the fridge. I make them up with 70 degree water and then rapid cool in a pan of cold water before putting in the fridge

hi did you experience any issues with this method? Mine is also on Pepti and for the night feeds I’m using pre made feeds I put in the fridge

I’d also be interested to know if you experienced any issues with putting the feeds in the fridge. My baby has just started on Pepti and we’d like to prepare a few in advance

No issues at all, we were preparing enough bottles to be consumed within 12 hours and putting them at the back of the fridge. I believe the key is to ensure no milk stays more than 24 hours but ideally not for more than 12 hours
