Baby refusing the feed or experiencing digestive upset after feeding
Ensure the formula is prepared exactly as per instructions: correct water-to-powder ratio and temperature. Confirm the expiry date of the product. If issues persist, consult your healthcare professional, as digestive upset could be due to other factors or sensitivities.
Formula powder clumping when mixing
Ensure the water is at the correct warm temperature (around 70°C after boiling and cooling for 30 minutes) and not too cold. Add the powder to the water, not the other way around. Shake the bottle thoroughly and immediately after adding the powder.

Always refer to the detailed feeding guide provided on the Kendamil Follow On Milk Stage 2 can. This guide provides recommended quantities based on age. If in doubt, consult your pediatrician or healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Following these guidelines is crucial for your baby's health and the product's effectiveness.
Setup & Preparation
- Hygiene First: Always wash your hands thoroughly and sterilize all feeding equipment (bottles, teats, etc.) before preparation.
- Boil Water: Boil fresh tap water and allow it to cool for no more than 30 minutes to ensure it's still warm (around 70°C).
- Measure Water: Refer to the feeding guide on the can for the correct amount of water. Pour the boiled, cooled water into the sterilized bottle.
- Add Powder: Use the scoop provided in the can. Level off each scoop with the back of a clean, dry knife. Add the exact number of scoops required to the water.
- Mix Thoroughly: Securely cap the bottle and shake well until all the powder is dissolved. Avoid vigorous shaking that can create excessive foam.
- Check Temperature: Before feeding, cool the bottle under cold running water until it reaches body temperature (around 37°C). Test a few drops on your wrist to ensure it's not too hot.
Important: Never add extra scoops of powder or less water than instructed, as this can be harmful to your baby.
Compatibility
- Age Range: Kendamil Follow On Milk Stage 2 is only suitable for babies aged 6 to 12 months.
- Dietary Role: This product must be used as part of a mixed diet and is not a breastmilk substitute for infants under 6 months. Always consult a healthcare professional before introducing new foods or formulas.
Care & Storage
- Storage: Store the unopened can in a cool, dry place. Once opened, reseal the can tightly and use the contents within four weeks. Do not store in the refrigerator.
- Discard Unused Feed: For your baby's safety, any feed remaining in the bottle after one hour of preparation must be discarded.
- No Microwave Reheating: Never reheat formula in a microwave. Microwaves can create 'hot spots' that may scald your baby's mouth, and they can destroy vital nutrients.
