[quote=Anonymous]OP - your pediatrician can be a help for this. Assuming that your DC does not have any health risks (preemie, low immunity, other illness, etc), it's pretty straightforward. Our pediatrician recommended the following (but again, consult your doctor): - Use distilled water until 6 months old, then filtered tap water is fine after 6 months - Can prepare forumla in batches as long as every bottle in the batch is consumed [u]within 24 hours[/u]. Any formula that is not consumed within 24 hours should be thrown away. - Dishwashing bottles is fine. Or you can sterilize by boiling or microwaving with water or steamer bags. - When giving your DC a bottle, make sure that the formula is consumed within one hour. Throw away any remaining formula in the bottle after one hour. As importantly, do not save half consumed formula - do not re-refrigerate. Hope this helps. [/quote]
