Hi Marsha :)
I wonder if you know of any other videos about safe preparation of PIF?
When I looked at the one you suggested, I noticed that not only was there
no mention of using boiled water while it was HOT, but that the mother was
shown adding water to the bottle straight from the tap. This is not
recommended in the WHO document,
*Guidelines for the safe preparation, storage and handling of powdered
infant formula*
http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/micro/pif_guidelines.pdf
And then, of course there was the whole language concern of using *however*
after listing the importance of breastfeeding, which, of course, completely
negated everything said before it.
