Hi all,

I have a 5 month old once a week, who has one bottle while in my care. His parent makes his bottles with cold boiled water and just adds the formula. I am totally aware that this is wrong as it does not kill the bacteria in the powder, my dilemma is do i continue to do as the parent requests and use the water they provide, or should I follow the safety guidelines and make with my own boiled water left no more than 30 minutes, thus ensuring the bacteria is killed. Then cool right down with running water until cold?

What would you do, I don’t want to go against what the parent does, but I also don’t want to go against safety guidelines?

Many thanks all.
