In the video, Shen provided practical advice for preparing formula, emphasizing hand washing, sterilizing bottles, using water above 70 degrees Celsius for sterilization, and adding water before powder for the correct ratio. He also demonstrated a gentle bottle-rolling technique to avoid excessive bubbles and advised testing the temperature on the wrist.

Beyond the practical tips, Shen touched upon work-life balance, referencing government initiatives like extended parental leave and increased childcare subsidies. He concluded the video with Father's Day wishes to all dads across Taiwan. The social media reactions highlighted the video's unexpected humor, with many netizens commenting on Shen's quick thinking and the "easter egg" appearance of "Puma" (a nickname for Hsiao Bi-khim).
