ATTENTION: glass receptacles may be hotter than their actual contents

• Check that the size of the bottle is adapted to the volume of water to heat.
  Choose a bottle that will be filled at least to half of its height
  Example, to heat 120 ml of water, choose a 240 ml bottle maximum
• Always stir the bottle jar to even the temperature of the contents
• Always check the temperature of the food by pouring a few drops on to a delicate piece of skin (inside the wrist, back of the hand, etc.) or by tasting the food.

Temperature may vary according to the material, shape and brand of the bottle you use. We recommend that you carry out several tests in order to adjust the amount of water needed in relation to the format of the bottle and the final temperature desired. 30 seconds

• For hygiene reasons and in order to avoid all microbiological risks, the bottle must be consumed quickly after preparation. Consult your paediatrician or a health organisation for further information about food safety and preparation.
