ANS: A, D
Parents should be advised to read and follow the manufacturer's instructions explicitly when preparing the formula, as some require no water and some need to be diluted with water. Cold water should be used to mix the powder. Only the amount to be used for each feeding should be prepared, and any unused formula should be discarded. The nipples should be checked periodically during feedings for correct flow and should be replaced regularly. The cans of liquid formula should be shaken and washed before opening.
