Troubleshooting
Baby is refusing to drink the milk.
Ensure the milk is prepared at the correct temperature (lukewarm) and test it on your wrist. Check the flow rate of the teat to ensure it's appropriate for your baby's age and comfort. If refusal persists, consult your healthcare professional.
Baby experiences digestive discomfort (e.g., constipation, excessive gas) after drinking the milk.
Verify that the milk is being prepared exactly according to the instructions, ensuring correct water-to-powder ratios. Incorrect preparation can lead to digestive issues. If symptoms continue or worsen, seek advice from a doctor or health visitor.
Milk appears lumpy or doesn't mix well.
Ensure you are using water at the recommended temperature (often cooled boiled water) and shaking thoroughly according to package instructions. Old or improperly stored powder can sometimes affect mixability.
