> Hi, Mary,
> 
> I'm a children's nurse in the UK and have predominantly worked on NICUs  (a few children's wards and in the community as well). The majority of formula used is ready to feed, but those that are powdered are always made with boiled water cooled no more than to 70*C. We also teach families making up formula according to WHO and our Department of Health guidelines. This has been the case everywhere I've worked and is considered best practice.
