2024.01.28 02:10 Capable_University_5 Needing a new saucepan for everyday use.

My poor old saucepan is finally starting to go the way of the Dodo.
I need some help and advice.
I’m on a very limited budget I’m afraid but I don’t want to get a crummy saucepan. I want a good one that will last, heat evenly and can take a bit of a beating.
I’m in Australia so I have to work with what’s available here.
My budget is super super low for now so maybe the best I can get for about $30 - $100 AUD?
I know that’s a lot to ask.
I was thinking a stainless steel but I’m not sure what material is best for an everyday kind of saucepan.
I’m not too keen on a non stick. I don’t really need a non stick for a saucepan.
Advice and recommendations please?
UPDATE: Thank you everyone! You all helped me make up my mind!
After much consideration I have gone just slightly over budget but have decided to favour a saucepan. It has been ordered! I’m so excited!

2024.01.01 13:39 leathercollar Is it ok to live on cereal, toast and instant noodles for 2-4 weeks?

G'day everyone!
I am sorry for the long post. I hope you all had a happy and safe new year! This is a general question as I am going to be without any furniture for the next 3-4 weeks and a very tiny budget for food. I live in Australia and I have no choice but to move out of where I have been living due to a relationship breakdown that happened a few weeks before Christmas. He ended it after 7 years together. :(
It totally blind sided me and this past few weeks have been the most stressful I have ever experienced in my life. I have drained most of my savings to be able to afford and find a new rental place (bond and the first 4 weeks of rent), one-way flights for my son, I and our cat. A few thousands dollars that took me forever to save up now gone. I work remotely thankfully so my full time job is safe and I will be able to work on my laptop using my phone as a hotspot. But I will be without any furniture for 3-4 weeks due to how long it takes to have my furniture be delivered from Darwin to Tasmania.
I have it in my very small budget to be able to afford a tiny mini fridge when I get to my new place. I sadly need it for storing for medication, not just for refrigerating food/drinks. There is an oven and a washing machine already in the new place but that is it. There is a small local supermarket within a 10 minute walk so that is extremely helpful. I will have a $30 budget to buy a cheap saucepan, kettle, toaster and 2 plates/cutlery. The rest of my budget is going to sleeping bags and cheap foldup stretcher camping beds which will be coming with us on the plane.
The amount of money I will have left to cover for food will be enough to afford 2 minute noodles, teabags, bread, vegemite, some milk and my son's favourite cereal as a treat for him until my next pay cheque in 2 weeks. My cat is covered for her food thankfully.
How unhealthy is it to live on just this for just the next 2-4 weeks? Any ideas for substitutes I can add to noodles would be a great help. I will be able to squeeze in a small tin of tuna for one or two nights a week if it is on special? Or a few dollars on ham? I am used to making the most of each dollar but I am so stressed that I feel like I am letting my son down. I am trying my hardest not to let it show in front of him because his world has been turned upside as well because of this.
I cannot reach out to the single foodbank in the area as it is in extreme demand and they are very limited in their stock of food. I will be able to eat 2 meals a day, it just will be either toast or 2 minute noodles for a few weeks.
Any advice would be really appreciated! Thank you! :)
Edit: Oh goodness!!! I woke up this morning to so many messages! I was not expecting this!!! Thank you so much to everyone for your wonderful ideas and comments! I will try to make my way through them when I can!

2023.09.11 10:07 No_Watercress9706 Nanna's Greek Dessert Recipe from 70s - Has anyone ever heard of it? Can't find any trace of it online (Dushda)

Hello! My nanna who is not greek handed down this dessert recipe and it's my favourite. She said she got it from a greek friend. It's like a tiramisu, but instead of soaking the lady fingers in coffee liquor, you soak it in a melted chocolate/evaporated milk mixture. The mascarpone is swapped out for whipped cream, and sliced strawberries are incorporated in the layers. This was in Brisbane, Australia in the 70s apparently. I've never been able to find a recipe online for it. She called it dushda. I'm sure she pronounced it wrong. If you know anything about it PLEASE! let me know. Here is the recipe:
Melt equal parts dark chocolate and evaporated Milk in a saucepan
Whip up a tub of cream
Slice a punnet of strawberries up
while the chocolate mixture is on low, soak the lady fingers, about 3 at a time in the chocolate mixture until they are almost falling apart. I stab little holes to get it to soak in quicker.
on a plate, stack the chocolate-soaked ladyfingers until it covers the plate
add a layer of whipped cream
add a layer of strawberries
repeat 3 times or so
cover whole thing in whipped cream and shaved chocolate
refrigerate over night (super important or the ladyfingers don't get to full soggy-ness and it's just not tasty)

Is this familiar to anyone?

2023.06.20 12:31 Suspected_Engineer Apple Pie Recipe in an easy way!

The humble apple pie is a classic dessert that's been enjoyed for centuries. The apple pie has made many a baker famous in Australia for their mouth-watering, award-winning apple pie recipes. The crust dough is usually made with flour, butter, sugar, salt and water. Once the crust is ready with the filling, it’s baked until golden brown.
Apple Pie Recipe

how to make apple pie?

Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 90 minutes + cooling time
Nutritional Value (rough estimate per serving): 471 calories, 24g fat, 62g carbs, 4g fibre, 4g protein

Ingredients:

8 apples (best apples mentioned later)
½ cup (115gm) unsalted butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
½ cup (100g) brown sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
1 egg
¼ cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract

Apple Pie Filling

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Let’s start off our apple pie recipe by giving those apples a good peel. Slice them up into thin, delicate slices - around half an inch.
Gently toss your freshly sliced apples into a big bowl and sprinkle the spices – cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves – over them. Gently mix the spices with the apple slices. Ensure that it’s evenly distributed.
Lay those apple slices onto a couple of baking trays and chuck them in the oven. Ensure that they've softened up but are still holding their shape. This step in your apple pie recipe may take around 30 minutes but keep checking in between.
Hold an apple tray over a saucepan and transfer the apple syrup into a saucepan. Repeat this with the other tray (and transfer the apples into their earlier bowl). Place the saucepan over medium heat. Add butter and sugar to it and let the butter melt. Now whisk in the flour and let it simmer for a minute.
Then, add water and sugar to the saucepan. As soon as it starts to boil, reduce the heat. Let it simmer for 3 more minutes, whisking frequently. This prevents lumps from forming. Once done, remove it from the heat.
Then, pour the buttery apple sauce and gently mix it with apple slices. Ensure every slice is fully coated in the delicious sauce.
Add a dash of vanilla extract and lemon zest, then give everything another gentle stir to make sure the apples are evenly flavoured.

Apple Pie Pastry

Get started with another major step in our apple pie recipe. Use the pie crust pastry recipe given below (see apple pie crust recipe) to make two dough disks. Refrigerate them.
Time to get the dough disks out of the cool zone. Scatter some flour on a neat, flat surface and use a rolling pin to flatten one pie dough to form a circular shape of about 12 inches diameter. We’re keeping it a tad larger than the 23cm/9inch pie dish.
When you roll the dough, make sure it’s not too sticky. In case it is, sprinkle a little more flour. After the dough is rolled out, carefully place it in the pie dish and press it down to line the dish with the dough.
Take the second crust and roll it out into a slightly smaller circular shape (about 11 inches). Cut it into 10-14 evenly thick strips.

Assembling the Pie

Before we start with this section of the apple pie recipe, preheat the oven to 200°C.
Carefully spoon the apple mixture into the pastry-lined dish. Make sure you mound it slightly in the centre without getting any of the fillings on the edges. This’ll let you seal the crust properly.
Now, it's time to get creative with your apple pie recipe! Arrange the strips in a beautiful woven lattice pattern over the top of the pie filling. The easy way to do that is by starting with the longest strip and placing it across the centre of the pie. Then continue by alternately placing shorter strips on both sides of the long strip. Make sure they’re spaced out evenly.
Now gently fold back the two strips on either side of the middle strip and lay a long strip across the centre of the pie in a perpendicular direction. Then fold back alternating strips and lay down shorter strips. Continue doing this to complete the crisscross design.
Put your creative stamp on the pie by sealing the top and bottom crust with your own unique design.
To give the pie a golden, shiny finish – beat together an egg and a tablespoon of water, and gently brush the top of the lattice with the egg mixture. Some apple pie recipes ask to sprinkle the top with sugar but it’s not necessary.

Bake and Serve

We’re almost at the finish line of the apple pie recipe and we reckon you would have stopped wondering how to make apple pie. Now pop your masterpiece into the oven. Let it bake for around 45 to 60 minutes or until it achieves a gorgeous golden-brown colour.
Let the pie cool completely for at least 2-3 hours before serving. You can even let the pie chill in the fridge overnight. And that’s my apple pie recipe for you.

apple pie crust recipe

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Chilling: 1 hour
Nutritional Value: Mentioned above in apple pie calories

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups (~185gm) all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
½ cup (~115gm) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
½ cup ice water

Instructions:

Add sugar, salt and flour to a bowl, whisk well to combine.
Mix the butter pieces also with the rest. Using your fingers, make pea size crumbs of the butter.
Gradually add the ice water and as you continue to mix it. Pinch the dough to check if it’s sticky enough. Don’t add too much water.
Split the dough into 2 halves and shape each into a disk.
Wrap each disk in plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour before using them in your apple pie recipe.

best apples to choose for your apple pie:

There are numerous tips and tricks on how to make apple pie perfectly and this is one of them. When it comes to selecting the perfect apples for your apple pie recipe, there’s usually no restriction. Even though you can use any apple in your apple pie recipe, you must use those that are comparatively better for baking. Choosing the right type of apple can help ensure your apple pie recipe turns out perfectly.
For an apple pie recipe to be perfect, it’s best to avoid mushy apples. They can turn your delicious dessert into a soggy mix. Some of the best apples for your apple pie recipe are:

Granny Smiths are the go-to apples for any apple pie recipe. These apples are juicy, crisp and tart. But tartness can be balanced if you add a bit more sugar to the filling.
Braeburns are also an excellent option for any apple pie recipe. They stay in shape in the oven. The apples have a nice sweet-tart flavour that's perfect for an apple pie recipe.
Golden Delicious apples are also a good alternative for an apple pie recipe.

If you want to experiment with your apple pie recipe, consider mixing two or three types of apples instead of sticking to just one. This way, you can experience a range of unique flavours and textures that’ll make the best apple pie recipe even more interesting.

tools required to make best apple pie

If you're planning to work on an apple pie recipe from scratch, you'll want to make sure you have the right tools at hand. The following list can be a helpful reference:

Basic tools: First up, you'll need a measuring cup and spoons to make sure you add the right amount of ingredients as per your apple pie recipe. You'll also need a sharp knife for coring, peeling and slicing the apples. Speaking of slicing, a lattice cutter for pastry is a very useful tool. And so are a spatula and a pastry brush.
Mixing bowl: Necessary to combine the apples with the sugar and spices.
Food processor: Using a food processor in your apple pie recipe is a no-fuss way to create perfect pie dough.
Rolling pin: A wooden rolling pin is a traditional choice but go ahead and use the one you have.
Pie dish or plate: It’s essential to bake your pie in.

2023.01.24 01:07 brisbaneacro Costco 5 ply vs Scanpan Coppernox

I’m looking to replace most of my pots and pans and the Costco set is looking pretty tempting. It’s not as cheap in Australia at $390 but just an all clad sauté pan here is $300.
The thing is I don’t really need the 3qt saucepan because I already ordered a made in saucier in that size and I don’t really need the stockpot because I have 1 ply stainless steel beater that does the job.
So I could individually buy a scanpan Coppernox sauté pan, a small saucepan and 2 skillets for about the same price as the Costco set.
They’re both 5 ply copper, the only advantage I can see for the scanpan is that it is ovensafe up to 430f and the Costco set is only ovensafe to 380f. Costco has stainless lids which I’d prefer over glass though because I’ve already broken a glass scanpan lid by dropping it.
I could get the Costco set and try and sell the stockpot and sauce pan for a few bucks but I don’t think I’d really get much for them here and it’s not really a factor.

2023.01.20 23:10 brisbaneacro Cookware Essentials

I've been using a bunch of hand me down non stick pots and pans for 8 and they are probably long overdue for replacement. Most of them have scratches and pitting which probably isn't healthy for me. What I'd like to do is consolidate a little bit (for example I currently have a saute pan + skillet + 2x short handled frypans which is probably unnecessary) and get some better quality stuff.
I think I'm OK for things like knives, cutting boards, baking trays etc - what I'm looking to start over with is the pots and pans.
What I was thinking:

All Clad 12 inch stainless saute pan $300 (the tramontina one is the same price in Australia so why not)
12 inch nonstick skillet (already owned and in ok shape still, I actually bought this one about 5 years ago but it doesn't have any obvious damage to the surface, though it has been made with a weird patterned surface covered in like little hexagon indentations which food gets into and bakes on.. Maybe I should replace this with a non stick pan also)
steel stock pot (already owned)
Made In 3 QT stainless saucier $300
Lodge enameled dutch oven 6 QT $123
Small (0.8QT?) steel saucepan (already owned)
Already owned nonstick wok that is in decent condition because I never use it but it's there I guess

What I'm not sure about:

Is the saute pan/dutch oven enough for searing? I bought a new lodge CI skillet about 10 years ago, did all the reading about care and seasoning and it was a pain in the ass to use and look after. Food stuck to it every time I used it requiring heavy scrubbing with salt, plastic scratch pad, scraper etc. I stopped using it, it got rusty after a couple years and I binned it. I have never understood how people love them so much. Would carbon steel be better here?

I am possibly open to trying CI again because I know how much people love them and I may have just messed up the original seasoning (though I did follow the instructions - wipe on, wipe off, 450f oven for an hour etc)... Main thing is I see people in the CI sub basically saying to use crisco and other oils (I used flaxseed last time) don't work as well and I can't get crisco in Australia.

Should I also get a stainless skillet and reserve the nonstick for eggs and pancakes etc? Maybe a carbon steel skillet here instead of stainless/CI?
Also considering another 2QT saucier, or at least keeping my 2QT nonstick saucepan.

I'm from Australia and lurked on this sub to help me make my first online purchase (stores aren't in my city yet). People's reviews and comments really helped me choose what to buy, so I wanted to give back to this community by providing reviews for what I ended up buying! Thank you all!! <3 My favourites would have to be frosted coconut snowball and copper coconut sands :) Australia doesn't have the range of products that the US does but there's still some gems!
https://preview.redd.it/wk44r4aysn5a1.jpg?width=3846&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5dc18c83ed098afd6fe4d79cad8b4518ba0113f4
At the beach fragrance mist: a realistic coconut and sea salt! not sweet, but very beachy and summery. just a hint of frangipani. Like a more complex Body Shop coconut. absolutely delicious and I'll definitely reach for this a lot this summer!! apply generously so you can smell it - it's rather weak. it disappears so quickly after you spray it. this would have been a favourite if not for its longevity. recommend only if you have ways of making this last longer.
Frosted coconut snowball fragrance mist: Korres Vanilla Freesia with coconut. the coconut in this is dry, unlike "At The Beach" which is creamy. this is woodsy, slightly musky, very sweet and nectary, plus dry coconut. recommend for an interesting take on coconut! longer lasting than at the beach.
Vanilla bean noel fragrance mist: 2022 version. like vanilla bean ice cream with vanilla custard. very sugary sweet. smells like food rather than a gourmand fragrance. kind of sickly and nauseous in the beginning like a zero sugar vanilla coffee syrup. really weak once it dries down, while retaining a burnt/synthetic note like caramelising sugar in a saucepan, or maybe artificial sweetener. i hear this is better in some years than others, and i think this would be better as a lotion. could have potential for layering with other perfumes. can't really recommend this, for the 2022 version at least.
Blackcurrant and cedarwood body lotion: I understand all the rave reviews now! It smells luxe and soothing, fruity but not juvenile. The cedarwood adds dryness and depth. when you use this, it smells like you've applied perfume. And it perfumes an entire room as well! A pleasant surprise to walk into my room and smell this. The lotion itself is good enough for me, though perhaps not for very dry skin. My skin after using this is soft, smooth, with no residue feeling, and lightly perfumed. Highly recommend.
White tea and sage shower gel: Purchased for my aunt. It really is white tea and sage! The white tea is sweet and mild, green and a little floral, while the sage adds a savoury herbal note. I don't detect bergamot, the tea and sage are far more prominent. it's calming and clean and perfect for my aunt who's really into 'zen', art, and gardening. recommend!
Japanese cherry blossom body lotion: Purchased this for my grandmother. very powdery floral, a bit musky. It's a suitable gift though I don't think it smells like cherry blossom. Completely different to The Body Shop cherry blossom scent, which i probably prefer. Recommend if you like powdery florals, but not if you're seeking a real cherry blossom scent.
Copper coconut sands body lotion: initially quite synthetic and plastic smelling, then it settles to become more of a creamy sandalwood coconut. Not a sweet smell. I read it's supposed to smell like a sunscreen, which thinking about it now definitely makes sense! it has that dry chemical-y note that evokes applying sunscreen every two hours at the beach or after getting in the water (which we are all doing in the hot aussie sun... right?). Highly recommend if you want a delicious, suntan lotion-sunscreen coconut.

2022.10.18 11:32 Quasimoron1 Help for first time growing Bismuth crystals.

Its going to be my first time doing this (or any crystal related things in general) and I wanted some help for some questions I have.
I currently have 1kg of bismuth, is this enough to make some decent crystals (even if they are small). I have been trying to buy more but its very expensive, with the only cheap stuff available being from china but having huge shipping fees. (If anyone knows a decent source to get some that would be great. Im in Australia so it would have to be able to be shipped here).
Im planning on melting it in an old saucepan, pouring out the excess after its stated to solidify around the edges and seeing the crystals that have grown. I have seen other sources say its better to dip some unmelted bismuth in to provide a surface to grow off, which of these methods is better / more viable for my small quantity. As well as this will there be any difficulties getting the solidified bismuth to seperate from the saucepan? I dont want to it get all stuck to the walls.
When pouring off the excess liquid bismuth what should I pour it into to have an easy cleanup (so I can later try again). I was thinking an old ceramic pot, as I could break the pot to get the bismuth.
Ive seen some conflicting stuff on safety. Its my current understanding that working with it should be fine as I'm doing it outside and dont plan to crush it at all (so I wont inhale dust). I also wanted to know whats the general safety procedure for a liquid metal spill or if some splashes on me. (Is it just let it solidify on the ground and if I get splashed run it under cold water?)
Thanks for any and all help / advice. If you have any other tips and tricks they would be much appreciated.

2022.05.03 08:29 Onestoptrade1 How can I Resolve My Blocked Drains Problems in Magill?

One of the most prevalent plumbing issues individuals face in Australia and worldwide is blocked drains. It's always a good idea to be prepared if a blockage occurs when you least expect it. Water can spill from your gutters, causing damage to your home or company if the clog isn't cleared. Blocked pipes might cause much more expensive repairs if they break. Here's a look at some of the most common methods for dealing with Blocked Drains in Magill.

https://preview.redd.it/4nbwr3n7g7x81.png?width=950&format=png&auto=webp&s=58f89ab8f600ee4b5f4c1c0c8d32a37d39a4756a
Boiling Water:
Pouring a saucepan of boiling water down a blocked drain is a quick and easy solution. If this does not release or dissolve the obstruction, more unnecessary procedures may be required. To avoid damaging PVC pipes, only use this procedure on metal or ceramic pipes. Instead of heating water, use hot tap water for PVC pipes. However, it is unlikely that this procedure will work for solid clogs, such as grease or food.
Natural Cleaner:
White vinegar and bicarb soda make an excellent DIY drain cleaning. The vinegar and bicarb can be poured into the drain one after the other. Place a drain stopper over the opening to keep the mixture from escaping the pipe. Bicarb and vinegar react chemically, releasing oxygen into the pipes cleaning them out of the process. To obliterate the blockage, you may have to repeat the procedure a few times. Remove any remaining residue by flushing your pipes with hot water once the combination has broken down the obstruction. You can also call one stop trade services for your help.
Caustic Cleaner:
Caustic chemical drain cleaners are available at most hardware and supermarket stores. Grease, hair, food, and other common clogs are no match for these chemicals. Because of their environmental impact, they should only be used sparingly. Tree roots and small home items can't be cleaned with acidic cleaners. When using chemical cleaners, always use gloves and goggles, and flush your pipes with water to remove any leftover chemicals.
Conclusion:
Plumber Kensington should be consulted. Blocked drains are best cleared by plumbers, who have the most excellent tools and experience in the field.

2022.04.27 16:13 Finechildren Baby formula feeding basic guide

Hi! This article is made to help you learn about baby formula feeding. So, let’s begin.

Now, make a choice: 1 or 2
1 — Read the best version of this article on its mother website here https://finechildren.com/baby-formula-feeding-guide/
2 — Or just continue reading this copy on Reddit

If you are not able to breastfeed your baby, infant formula is the only safe way of feeding your baby to around 6 months of age.
Formula-fed babies are kept on formula until 12 months of age in addition to complementary food. Talk to your doctor or child health nurse before you start feeding your baby infant formula.
When preparing and giving your baby infant formula:

Follow the instructions on the can to make sure your baby is getting the right nourishment
Sterilise bottles by boiling for 5 minutes
Wash your hands before you prepare a bottle
Keep feeding your baby on demand
Hold your baby while he or she is drinking.

Can I combine breastfeeding and bottle feeding?

Feeding your baby any amount of breastmilk has benefits for you and your baby. You might be able to combine breastfeeding with formula feeding if you are unable to give your baby only breastmilk.
Here are some tips to help you:

Try to breastfeed first before giving formula.
Any breastmilk has benefits to mother and baby, even if it is only a few drops.
The more you can express or breastfeed, the more milk you will make.

How to choose an infant formula?

There are many types of infant formula in grocery stores and chemists. Your doctor, child health nurse or dietitian will advise you on a suitable type of infant formula.

Remember…

Cow’s milk-based formulas are right for most babies. They are recommended over infant formulas made from soy or goat’s milk.
Special or soy-based formulas only need to be used for medical reasons. They should only be used with advice from a health professional.
All infant formulas in Australia have enough nutrients to meet the growing needs of babies.
Babies’ stomachs cannot break down regular milk. Avoid giving milk to babies younger than 12 months of age.

Formula feeding in 10 steps

Infant formulas can be a little bit different from one another. Always use the instructions on the can to make sure you are making it right for your baby. It is safest to feed your baby as soon as you make the formula. Only make 1 bottle at a time. Here is a list of steps for you to follow:

Clean all preparation areas. Wash your hands using soap and water.
Wash and sterilise bottles, teats and caps.
Boil fresh water. If using an automatic kettle, let it switch off.
Leave water to sit for at least 30 minutes to cool. Pour the right amount of water into the bottle.
Add the amount of formula listed on the can. Too much and it can hurt your baby’s kidneys; too little and your baby won’t grow well. Measure the formula with the scoop from the can and level with a knife. Take care not to mix up scoops from other containers.
Shake the bottle until the powder is dissolved.
Check the temperature by putting a few drops on your wrist. It should feel just warm.
You can now feed your baby. Hold your baby while he or she is drinking.
Any formula left at the end of the feed must be discarded.
Only keep made-up formula in the fridge for 24 hours.

Preparing feeds in advance

It is best to make 1 bottle of infant formula at a time, just before feeding. Sometimes you may need to make feeds in advance (e.g. for a babysitter).
Here are some tips:

Keep made-up feed in the fridge (temperature no higher than 5°C).
Feeds can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Only remove when ready to be used.

How to warm up infant formula?

Stand the bottle of formula in a container of hot water for a few minutes (no more than 10 minutes). Using a microwave to rewarm feeds is not recommended, as it does not heat evenly and can burn your baby’s mouth. You can use a bottle warmer if you have one.
Check the temperature by putting a few drops onto the inside of your wrist. It should feel warm or even a little bit cool.
Any formula left at the end of the feed must be discarded.

How to transport / carry baby formula?

The best way to transport formula is to carry individual portions of the powdered formula and cooled boiled water in sterilised containers. Formula can also be made before transporting.
Here are some tips:

Feeds that need to be transported should be put in the fridge until they are cold before transporting.
Keep the feed in the fridge until it needs to be transported.
Transport feeds in a cool bag with ice bricks and use within 2 hours. Place the formula in the fridge if you arrive before then. Use the formula within 24 hours from the time it was made.

How to clean feeding bottle for baby at home?

Equipment needs to be cleaned and sterilised. Clean bottles and teats by hand or in a dishwasher. Bottles and teats can be sterilised by boiling or with a steaming machine. (Use steamers according to the manufacturers’ instructions).

Boiling Method

Wash hands.
Wash teats and bottles in hot, soapy water using a bottle brush and rinse well.
Place equipment in a saucepan of cold water on a stove.
Bring to the boil and boil for 5 minutes. Turn off and allow to cool.
Store equipment in a clean container in the fridge if not being used immediately.
Sterilised equipment can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

How much formula should a baby eat?

Feed your baby on demand. Each baby is different and needs vary from day to day. Refer to the Is my baby getting enough milk? sheet if you are concerned about how much your baby is drinking.
This is a general guide of how much infant formula your baby might need:

5 days to 3 months old: 150mL per kilogram of body weight each day.
3 to 6 months old: 120mL per kilogram of body weight each day.
6 to 12 months old: 100mL per kilogram of body weight each day. Babies at this age also eat complementary foods.

How to feed baby with formula?

Sit comfortably with your baby in your arms while giving the bottle. Try holding your baby a different way each feed. This is because a baby’s skull is soft and changes in shape can occur if the baby always places their head in the same position.
Hold the bottle tilted upside down. You can gently press under your baby’s chin to encourage your baby to firmly grip the teat. This will help the baby to not swallow air.
Check the bottle flow. The milk should drop at a steady flow from the teat. Sometimes the teat gets clogged when a powdered infant formula is used.
It is common for babies to swallow some air. You can help your baby to burp by holding them upright over your shoulder or on your lap. Pat or rub the middle of their back gently until they burp.
If the baby is feeding happily, don’t stop until they are finished.
Avoid leaving your baby to feed on their own or while going to sleep. The milk may flow too fast and cause your baby to choke.
Your baby is feeding well if they have 6 or more wet nappies per day, consistent weight gain (following a curve on their growth chart), and are alert and content after a feed.
