What temperature should the boiled water cool down to before it can be used to prepare baby formula?
Water should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being mixed with the baby formula. Always check the temperature of the baby formula by testing a few drops on the inside of your wrist before feeding your baby.
Can I microwave baby formula?
No. Microwaving can cause uneven heating of the formula. This can result in “hot spots” that could burn your baby.
Once the baby has started drinking from the bottle, can I refrigerate any remaining formula for later use?
We do not recommend that formula be fed again once a baby has nursed from the bottle. During a feeding, the baby's saliva can come in contact with the formula in the bottle. Saliva, combined with the enriched nutrients found in infant formula, can create an excellent breeding ground for microorganisms to grow. Unfortunately, neither refrigeration nor reheating will prevent this growth, so we recommend that any unused baby formula be discarded within 1 hour from the time the baby's mouth first came into contact with the nipple.
