4. Some frequently asked questions when choosing purified water to mix milk for babies

Here are some problems that many mothers often encounter in the process of finding pure water to mix milk for their children.

Question 1: Does purified water need to be boiled to mix with milk?

Purified water has been filtered and can be used for drinking directly. If mothers need to use hot water to mix milk, they can still boil it without affecting the quality of the water because the nature of purified water only contains oxygen and water. After boiling the water, mothers should let the water cool to the standard milk mixing temperature of 37 - 70 degrees Celsius and it can be used.

If you don't want to boil it, you can also heat up purified water to mix with milk by soaking it. Put the bottle in warm water or use a specialized milk warmer. To know the exact temperature, mothers should refer to the instructions for each type of milk.

Question 2: Should I use boiled tap water to make milk for my baby?

Tap water after boiling can remove bacteria and organisms. However, metal impurities, alum, toxins, etc. cannot be removed by heat. Therefore, this water source does not ensure absolute safety for your baby's health and is not recommended for use.

In addition, baby milk on the market only requires a temperature of 40 - 70 degrees. Therefore, using boiling water at 100 degrees can reduce the nutritional value of the milk. Mothers can use boiled purified water to cool down or heat it with a specialized machine to reach the required temperature and then can safely prepare milk for their babies.

Purified water for mixing milk is the optimal choice to help protect your baby's health as well as the nutritional value of milk. To own a source of purified water that meets the standards to meet daily needs, customers can consider using a water purifier as an optimal solution to help protect the health of the whole family.
