There are two very different opinions on whether it is necessary to boil milk powder with mineral water.
One opinion insists that mineral water needs to be boiled. They believe that mineral water may contain minerals and other components that are beneficial to the baby's health, but at high temperatures, these beneficial substances can be destroyed.
Another point of view is that mineral water does not need to be boiled, because the minerals and other impurities in a qualified mineral water brand are safe.
However, it is generally accepted that mineral water still needs to be boiled before it can be used to make milk powder. This is due to the fact that high temperatures can destroy toxic substances in the water, thus avoiding the occurrence of gastrointestinal irritation and inflammation.
If you use unboiled mineral water to make milk powder, it may cause undesirable symptoms such as gastrointestinal pain and diarrhea, which may affect the absorption of nutrients.
It is recommended to use boiled tap water or purified water to make powdered milk. After boiling tap water, it should be cooled to about 40, and then drip to the inside of the wrist, feeling not hot or cold, so that it is most suitable for babies to drink.
It is worth noting that although tap water and purified water are more suitable water for making milk powder, parents still need to pay attention to the operation method. It is not advisable to use hot boiled water directly when brewing milk powder, because the high temperature will destroy the protein, fat, vitamins and other nutrients in the milk powder, especially those milk powder with added immunoactive substances, the activity of immune substances will also be destroyed.
When parents choose to use mineral water to make milk powder, they should pay attention to the quality and safety of the water, and master the correct heating and cooling methods to ensure the safety and health of the baby.
