After boiling water, the ideal temperature for preparing formula is around 70°C.
Boiling water at 100°C can destroy probiotics and some delicate nutrients in formula. After boiling and removing from heat, wait about 10-15 minutes (timing depends on room temperature) for water to cool to 70°C. This temperature inactivates possible germs while preserving the nutritional value of the formula.
After mixing, always test the temperature on the inside of your wrist before giving to your baby — it should feel warm, not hot, close to body temperature. Don't leave mixed formula at room temperature for longer than 1 hour; refrigerate if not used immediately, and use within 24 hours maximum.
