Hi Susan,
 
This is decent information that is poorly written. The sentence begins  
saying it's safe, but then goes on to say under what conditions ( which I have  
italicized, but don't know if that will come through....)
 
" In most cases, it's safe to mix formula using ordinary cold tap water  
that's brought to a boil and then boiled for one minute and cooled.  According 
to the World Health Organization, studies suggest that mixing powdered  
formula with water at a temperature of at least 70 degree C—158 degrees  F—
creates a high probability that the formula will not contain Cronobacter  
sakazakii."
 
So cold water is not safe unless it is only the starting point, and is then 
 boiled and cooled appropriately. Isn't boiling water 100 C/212F? That's 
even  hotter than the recommended 70/158...Unless I'm reading it wrong...I 
would have  definitely reworded this section.  Also they give no suggestions on 
how to  quickly cool down recently made formula/water mixtures that start  
with  water at 158/70 and need to get down to body temp.... It also seems to 
both  suggest mixing water that HAS BEEN boiled and cooled, as well as 
water that IS  at 158....comments?

Peace,
Judy
