Breastfeeding is the best for babies and a healthy diet / maternal nutrition is important when breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse. Infant formula is suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed. It is recommended that all formula milks be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian, pharmacist, or other professional responsible for maternal and child care and the financial implications should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions should be followed carefully as inappropriate preparation could lead to health hazards.

Is It Safe To Use Reboiled Water For Preparing Formula?

There is no concrete study done that says that drinking twice-boiled (or reboiled) water is harmful to our bodies unless the water itself is contaminated in the first place. Boiling water when preparing baby formula is very important in many parts of the world, especially developing countries that do not have safe water supplies. According to PUB, Singapore’s tap water is well within the World Health Organisation's drinking water guidelines, and is suitable for drinking and preparing baby's milk without any further filtration or boiling. If you're using clean water like in Singapore, you may not reboil it or can reboil it as many times as you want -- it won't affect your baby's health. However, boiling water is the most effective method to kill bacteria and viruses. If you do decide to boil the water when preparing your baby's formula, the FDA recommends that you "bring it to a very bubbly boil. Keep boiling it for a minute or two, then let it cool." Once it has cooled, you will be ready to add it to your child's formula.
