Am I missing something...?

Apologies for the long post...

I feel like an idiot asking, but I honestly feel like there's something everyone else knows and I missed somewhere!

I've just been told that my 14 week old baby may have an intolerance to dairy, and I need to cut it from my own diet and we've been given special formula. I've been mostly breast feeding (usually expressed milk, sometimes actual breastfeeding) and topping up with formula when needed. I've been feeding on demand the whole time.

The two types formula I have, one says to boil the kettle, wait 30 minutes, then make up the milk; the other says to boil the kettle, then let it come down to room temp and then make the milk.

How am I supposed to know that far in advance that he's hungry? And what. About overnight? How do I do it?

So confused!

Get a formula kettle off Amazon, you boil it to 100degrees and then set it to the temp you want and it'll then stay at that temp for 24 hours.
With dairy free formula it's made up differently, so it needs to be room temp (from boiled first) I set mine to 40 degrees for my cmpa baby and it's perfect drinking temp.
