Temperature of water for formula mix

[FTEngineerM]

I’ve just been reading another thread and they said don’t use boiling water to make formula but let it cool slightly to 70 degrees C.

I’m not exactly well versed in this but have been FF for about 7-8 weeks now and we’ve been going straight from boiled kettle to bottle with 50% of required water then putting milk powder on top then shaking and adding the rest cold to make it at a drinkable temp straight away.

Am I damaging the nutritional value of the formula by using 95+ degree C water?

Hey I'm not sure on that sorry but just wanted to pop in to say we use a perfect prep machine and that makes the bottle to the perfect temperature instantly and it's sooo easy and quick! You can pick one up second hand quite cheap (we even got 2 at one point to keep one upstairs for nightfeeds 😂)

It just puts a burst of 70 degree water in the bottle first for you to mix the powder and then it fills the rest of the bottle with filtered cool water so it's then at the perfect temp to drink.

Thanks @TJ17 if we were at newborn I’d 100% incest in one of those. He’s 9.5 months old now so only 2 months ish left of formula, I should probably start reducing to 70 if the machine does though. I cant imagine how much testing it went though.

OMG invest!!!!! Not incest.

Haha yes that makes sense! (Unless you are planning on having more babies in future)
To be fair on the Tommee Tippee site it does say a hot shot of "over" 70 degrees.

It doesn't specifically say it has to be 70.

No, it's fine. It needs to be over 70 in order to sterilise the powder. It doesn't matter how much over 70 :)

Ah fantastic, thanks both. Had a mild stress on that I was killing all of the good stuff.
