Explanation:

The formula is very important for the proper nutrition of babies. Its composition offers everything the child needs to develop, in perfect quantities and varieties, without missing any nutrients. Even water is present to ensure hydration. That is, it is a complete food that will provide the baby with a healthy life.

However, like any food, the formula needs some care not to spoil, not to promote the proliferation of microorganisms and not to cause any harm to the baby. The way to store the formula is extremely important and it should be noted that childcare providers should store the prepared formula and open cans of concentrate in the refrigerator.
