OMG!! I watched that scene where Ishaan is making a bottle of milk for Khushi under Suhana's wrong instructions and boy oh boy...what is this nonsense? Do they have to add comedy in every part? Suhana's lost her sense so does that mean Ishaan has become dumb too?
As a tv programme they should be more cautious in showing anything relating to babies/childcare. I am disappointed in the CV's for showing this. It's a very sensitive matter and I take it very seriously. Here is the RIGHT way of making a feed and I hope it helps...even you don't have a baby, it's all good to know!

Please read the following to know how to make a bottle of milk THE CORRECT WAY...
BEFORE you start to make your baby's feed, follow these hygiene steps:
- Sterilise all your baby's feeding equipment. This includes bottles, teats, lids, retaining rings and caps.
- Clean and disinfect the work surface you're going to use.
- Wash and dry your hands.
- Put a sterilised bottle on the clean surface.
- Use sterilised tongs to place the sterilised teat, lid, retaining ring and cap out ready, preferably on the upturned lid of the steriliser.
- Fill the kettle with fresh tap water. Don't use artificially softened water or water that has already been boiled before. Only use bottled water if you are abroad. A change in tap water could give your baby a tummy upset, because of the difference in minerals and purifying chemicals in the water. You'll still need to boil the mineral water.
- Bring the water to the boil and allow it to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. It needs to be hot enough to kill any bacteria in the powder, but not boiling hot. If you have a thermometer, the water should be at least 70 degrees C. Take care, though, as that's still hot enough to scald you.
- Read the instructions on the packet to check the amount of water needed for each bottle and the number of scoops of powder to use.
- Pour the required amount of water into the bottle. It's important to put the water in first, because you need to measure it accurately.
- Check the water level in the bottle. Stand the bottle on the counter top and crouch down to look. This way you can see that the water level is in line with the mark on the side of the bottle. If you look from above or below, or pick it up to check, it may look fuller or emptier than it actually is.
- Add the right number of scoops of powder to the bottle. Use the scoop provided in the packet. It will measure just the right amount. Loosely fill the scoop and level it off using the back of a clean knife, or the leveler provided in the pack. You don't need to press the powder down for each scoop.
- Place a sterilised lid or teat on the neck of the bottle and screw the retaining ring on tightly. If you're using a teat, hold the teat on its edge as you put it on, or use sterilised tongs.
- Put a sterilised cap on the bottle and shake it carefully until the powder has dissolved completely.
- Before feeding your baby, test the temperature by tipping a little milk out of the teat onto the inside of your wrist. It should feel just warm, not hot. If you need to, cool the milk by holding the bottle, with a cap covering the teat, under cold running water.
