When preparing formula, should I put water in the bottle first or powder first? I get confused.

The correct order is water first, then formula powder. Here's why: if you add powder first and then water, you can't precisely measure the right water amount for the powder you used, making formula too thick. This means baby gets too little liquid, putting stress on their kidneys.
Put room-temperature or slightly warm drinking water in the bottle, add the right amount of formula powder (follow package instructions and level the scoop without packing), cap it, shake well. Make it fresh each time, don't store unused portions.
