Food Safety for Infants After a Disaster

For formula-fed infants, use ready-to-feed formula if possible.
If using ready-to-feed formula is not possible, it is best to use bottled water to prepare powdered or concentrated formula.
If bottled water is not available, use boiled water to prepare the formula. Let the formula cool sufficiently before giving it to an infant.
Use treated water to prepare formula only if you do not have bottled or boiled water.
Clean feeding bottles and nipples with bottled, boiled, or treated water before each use.

Wash your hands before preparing formula and before feeding an infant. You can use alcohol-based hand sanitizer for washing your hands if the water supply is limited
