Do you boil water for mixing powdered formula?

Nancy • Sun, May 21

I'm breastfeeding my 4 month old but will need to supplement with some formula next weekend. I have well water that is good to drink and I don't see why I would have to boil it before mixing with formula. It's not city water so there aren't any added chlorine or fluoride, and it's tested so no nitrates, bacteria, or anything... Curious what you folks think
