Really confused.........

[Xanthe]

Hello ladies.

Hoping you will help me out as I'm really confused about making up bottles.

You would think that this is my first time. Nope! My daughter was on formula from 4 months and I used SMA. I used to boil kettle, pour STRAIGHT
into bottles, add formula, cool down and then store in fridge.

Now I understand its all changed!

Apparently you have to let the water cool down for 1/2 hour. What gets me is that I thought the boiling water was supposed to kill the bacteria in the formula???????? How on earth can this be achieved by adding COOLED boiled water.

Please help

Thanks
XXXX

You cool it down in the bottle - As I said in the other thread you posted this on, let it cool in the bottle for half hour or so then add your milk.

There are too many 'rules' about sterilising these days... my GP told me that as soon as you open the steriliser there unsterilised as bacteria also floats around in the air.
