Dear Lactnet Friends: In addition to omission identified by Norma Ritter, (tap water is not to be used for preparing formula) I found it very annoying that there was such an emphasis placed on how safe and nutritious are infant formulae. The whole reason for the renewed focus on safe formula preparation is that babies died. But then, at the end of the video, you'll see that the Infant Formula Council worked with NAPNAP to make it. I can't imagine the Infant Formula Council giving accurate information about the health risks of formula use. I am talking about increasing the risk of SIDS, and triggering diabetes and obesity, among many others. The point Norma identified is part of the conundrum about powdered formula: the water to make should be 158 degrees F (70 degrees C)....but boiling water concentrates the solutes in it. If the family lives in an old house with lead plumbing, the lead content of the water will be increased. But using tap or cold water won't kill the germs. Ack...what to do?? warmly, -- Nikki Lee RN, BSN, Mother of 2, MS, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI, ANLC, CKC craniosacral therapy practitioner www.breastfeedingalwaysbest.com *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
