IN this case the milk mixture NAV be
prepared in advance and put into
nursing bottles that have been boiled
and then stoppered with rubber corks.
Or they may be covered either with
rubber caps that have been boiled or
with wax paper held with rubber
bands. The bottles should then be
wrapped carefully in a clean cloth.

be used. Evaporated milk is made
ready for use by adding boiling water.
