Can bottle be made from half cold and half boiled water

[alison toms mum]

Have just given up BF after struggling on for 3 months (Im v  :cry: about it but Tom has a type of reflux that he needs to eat sitting up) and have found that DS preferes his bottle a LITTLE bit walmer than room temp (he will take it cold but fusses a lot) This is ok when i have time to make a bottle when he needs it, but difficult if hes already started screaming for food.

can formula be made up in room temp water?(I always assumed that it wouldnt disolve properly!) and can i put some pre boiled water in fridge and then add boiling water and formula when its needed? (if so how much cold and how much boiling water?)

Im sure Ill get the hang of it soon!

i was always told to use room temp or warmish water but not freshly boiled water as that would destroy the nutrients in the formula  :?  not sure if that is true or not, but i tend to boil a kettle full of watert and then store in a 1 Liter jug that i then use to prepare each bottle as i go... HTH

Hi,
I used to boil water and make up bottles ( without formula) and used them at room temp. Was using the advent bottles with the bag so had formuala powder in these and water in normal bottle.

Hi

I used to make up the bottles with just boiled water in and leave them at room temp then add the formula when needed - the Avent formula divider is a God send if you haven't already got one because you can premeasure the formula and just whack it in the bottle when needed.

If you do this make sure that you swill the bottle around a bit first before you shake it, otherwise the dry formula gets stuck in the teat and its a pain (DH discovered that one, must be a man thing).
