Questions about Feeding Baby? Mainly formula water questions.

Question

Hey girls. So I am hoping to breastfeed, but then again things happen. So the only breast related question I have is along the lines of if I store formula, frozen or fridge, what temp should I use the bottle warmer to? Can I give baby room temperature milk. (I’m sure she might not like it as much but just wondering.
Formula questions. There are two. 
First, temperature again? Can baby just have room temp?
Second, purified water? Boiled water? What do I actually use to mix the stuff? If I boil it, then I’d wait for it to cool obviously. But if I use a room temperature bottle or use my water purifier would it work? 
I guess I just wanna make sure I’m doing this right?

Answer

water for formula should alway have been pree boiled. look up WHO guidelines for preparations of formula. It could be fatal for babies to mix and prepare it wrong. Formula powder should be mixed with boiled water chilled down to 70°c to kill of potential bacterias that have been found in up to 15% of formula powder. If done the right way the risk is almost gone. I usually take and boil up water in the evening let it cool and have it on a large water bottle, when im preparing a feed I just boil up a little amount have it in the bottle add the formula powder and then add the cool preeboiled water to the right temperature.

Answer

They can have tapwater, it’s not going to kill them. But in the beginning we gave only purified water. As far as temperature, whatever temperature that you wouldn’t mind drinking warm liquids is good.

Answer

I can only help you with the formula question. When our daughter was first born we used purified water. She would be hungry and crying and would have to wait until her bottle got warm. It was such a pain! Then our friends asked why we weren’t just giving her warm tap water with her formula because eventually she will be drinking that anyway. So I ditched the purified water and started mixing her formula with warm tap and it made things so much easier. Plus she didn’t have to wait long for her bottle

Answer

Any temp. We have a baby brezza so his “home” bottles are warm, but he also has no issues with chilled or room temp. My kid is a pig.lol
As for water, whichever you are comfortable with. We used “infant/nursery” water for the first two months, but now just use tap.

Answer

We bought the gal jugs of the purified water and kept them on the counter. So when we mixed his formula, it was room temp. I never warmed up his bottles.
