Nutramigen

[Gg2003]

Hey my baby has been on nutramigen for 2 weeks now and I’ve been making it completely wrong I’ve been making it with boiled water🤦🏻‍♀️to make with room temp can I pour yhe kettle water into rapid cool and then into bottle and then add the scoops?

I always make it with boiling water at work. It’s hospital policy.

No idea about a rapid cool. I’ve not got the hang of them!

When I used to do my stint in our hospital milk kitchen all milks were made up with boiled water that had been allowed to cool for 30 minutes.

I invested in a kettle that boils to 70/80/90/100° as I have to make up neocate daily for my child. Boiling water can kill the nutrients in the powder.

Apparently it’s already sterile (nutramigen) so has to be in cooled water?

They are awkward aren’t they!

Yeah I thought this but then apparently nutramigen is already sterile so should be put in cooled water?

oh wow. My daughter had both nutramigen and neocate 16 years ago and I was not told this! She’s perfectly fine btw (I’m not minimising the correct preparation of formula).

Yes mine too. 26 years ago I was making up nutramigen with boiled water and she’s lived to tell the tale :)

Ha! I never knew that. I always made it with boiled water for DD who is currently revising for her GCSEs!

Yes!

I used rapid cool 🫶 and had a cmpa baby

Shake the water...add the powder... one more shake... all good

I’d suggest you boil the kettle, allow it to cool as directed, then make up 24 hours worth of bottles to keep in the fridge. You can then warm them in hot water as and when needed.

I wish we had a milk kitchen. Had one at the hospital I trained at and I really miss it! I thought once the powder is opened it’s no longer sterile. The same as all other powders. Hence having to use boiling water.

The instructions on nutramigen specifically say to use cooled water. It’s because they add probiotics to help with CMPA that would be killed at high temperatures.

Yeah I honestly had no idea until I looked on the tin this morning😅

That’s great Thankyou so much I will do🫶🏻

Yeah I’ve started doing it with cool water now Thankyou

You dont used boiled water with neocate.
