Recommendation is to heat to boiling
then cool to 70C
then add PIF
then cool to feeding / body temperature.
I believe the first part is to decontaminate the water
The second part is to decontaminate the PIF without destroying too many nutrients.
However the PIF Mfg Co says that 70C destroys their lab-created probiotics
The third step makes it a comfortable feed for baby.

I am trying to understand the recommendations for PIF. Is the recommendation to add a decontamination step (adding PIF to water heated to 70c) for all babies and to not feed PIF at all to infants under 2 months of age or is the recommendation to add a decontamination step when feeding to infants under 2 months?
