Water quality tips

Step-by-Step (Recommended Method)

Boil water → cool to 158°F (70°C) → mix → cool to 98.6°F (37°C) → feed.

1) Wash & sterilize

Wash hands. Clean and sterilize bottle, nipple, and ring before every feed.

2) Boil fresh water

Bring fresh drinking water to a rolling boil (about 1 minute is a common rule if you’re unsure about water safety).

3) Cool to 158°F (70°C)

Let boiled water cool to approximately 158°F (70°C) before adding powder.

4) Add level scoops & mix

Use only the included scoop. Add level (not heaping) scoops, close, and shake until fully dissolved.

5) Cool to feed

Cool to feeding temperature: 98.6°F (37°C). Test on wrist/forearm (warm, not hot).

Important: Never dilute formula to make it last longer. Always follow the Holle feeding chart exactly.

Storage & discard

  • Room temp: discard after 2 hours.
  • In a cooler: use within 4 hours.
  • In the fridge: use within 24 hours.
  • After baby drinks from bottle: discard leftovers.

Never do this

  • Do not microwave prepared formula.
  • Do not use heaping scoops.
  • Do not reuse unfinished bottles.
  • Do not guess measurements.

Note: Guidance can vary by baby’s age/health and local recommendations. When in doubt, follow your label and pediatrician advice.

Water choice (simple rules)

Water quality matters. Choose clean, low-mineral water and avoid unnecessary additives when possible.

Low-fluoride water recommended

If possible, avoid heavily fluoridated water. Many formulas already contain appropriate minerals, so extra fluoride may be unnecessary.

If using well water

Have it tested for nitrates and contaminants. Boiling can kill bacteria, but it does not remove minerals or nitrates.

Best water options

When bottled water is needed, look for labels like: purified, distilled, demineralized, or reverse osmosis (low mineral content).

Can I use tap water?
In many places tap water is safe. If you’re unsure, boil first, then cool to 158°F (70°C) for mixing and cool further before feeding.
Why not microwave formula?
Microwaves can create dangerous hot spots and uneven heating. Warm using a water bath if needed.
How do I know the bottle is safe to feed?
Aim for 98.6°F (37°C). Test a few drops on your wrist — warm, not hot.
