When can you stop boiling water for bottle feeds?

Hi, my ds is now 9 months and I'm still sterilizing his bottles and boiling the water to go in them. When can I stop boiling the water and just use ordinary tap water?

you can stop sterilising - no worries there.

I never made bottles from tap water, the heat from the boiled water helped mix the powder, but thats just my view.

Oh I hadn't realised it wouldn't mix well when cold. To be honest I always let the water cool to cold anyway.

So no more.. Oh thank goodness
