    The temperature that the bottle is when given to the baby is not important - some babies prefer cooler milk anyway. However the recommendation is to make the formula with boiling water as the formula is not sterile and this helps kill germs.
    Wow! I was not aware of that! Well Im glad I always made my FF with boiling water! Thanks MR!

    My formula says to use cooled boiled water. Specifically, says to allow boiling water to cool for 30-40 mins until it gets down to 50-60 degrees.

    I don't do that. I keep a jug of boiled water on the benchtop that would be room temp. If it's a hot day, I mix as is. If it's a cold day, I use the room temp water and boil the kettle and add a bit of piping hot water to make it warmer.

    On a hot day, DD likes her bottles room temperature; on a colder day she likes them warm (but not hot).

    I to fill the kettle and boil the water the night before so the next day its at room temp and i use it as required. DS loves anything no matter what temp but it is very handy. I give him a warm one after his bath as part of his night time routine just so he relaxes and knows its close to bed time.
