I mostly breastfeed but I just use tap water. Never heard of baby water. I drink the tap water which is what most of my breastmilk is made of. Shes fine. I'm fine.

My pediatrician told me city water was fine. And I always make sure my babies get used to room temperature water. No heating baby bottles here!

@bettymomma how much do you give her ?

Tap water is fine. You could use bottled or boil it and then cool it. Most bottled water is just tap water anyway.

There should be directions on your formula can, those premade bottles are 2 or 3 ounces, so I would just give her that amount.

With my niece I was told never to warm the bottles. If she gets use to it you'll always have to do it. And it will be harder on you at night.

but for 3 ounces how many scoops is that , on the can it gives you the directions in 2's

@pwchance thanks .

happy_mommy2be · August 2011

@ashleyfew how long do you warm it up ? (sorry for all the questions ladies)

happy_mommy2be · August 2011

@bettymomma thanks !

You can make 6 oz and do two bottles at once too.

I boil the water and measure out the bottles I do 5oz them leave them to cool then just add the formula as I use them also I don't heat is so much easier.

silverfairy · September 2011

also should be 1 scoop per oz

DON'T EVER heat bottles in the microwave

bad advice! Warm a bowl of water in the microwave then set the bottle of formula in the hot water bowl for a couple minutes.

jcbowker · September 2011

read the directions, if it says 1 scoop equals 2 oz then do 1 1/2 scoops for 3 oz.
