Water quality tips

Step-by-step preparation

Recommended order: boil water → cool to 158°F (70°C) → add formula → shake → cool to feeding temperature → feed.

1. Wash and sterilize

Wash your hands and sterilize the bottle, nipple, ring, and all preparation tools before every feed.

2. Boil fresh water

Boil fresh drinking water. If you are unsure about water quality, begin with freshly boiled water for the safest preparation routine.

3. Cool to 158°F (70°C)

Let the boiled water cool to approximately 158°F (70°C) before adding the powder.

4. Add level scoops and mix

Use only the scoop included with your Kendamil product. Add level scoops, never heaping scoops, then shake until fully dissolved.

5. Cool and test before feeding

Cool the prepared bottle to about 98.6°F (37°C). Test a few drops on your wrist or forearm. It should feel warm, never hot.

Important: Never dilute formula to make it last longer, never guess measurements, and always follow the feeding chart on your exact Kendamil product.

Quick scoop calculator

Enter water in ounces to estimate scoops using the quick rule of 1 scoop per 1 oz. This is only a helper. Always confirm the exact chart on your Kendamil label.

Storage and discard

  • At room temperature: discard after 2 hours.

  • In the refrigerator: use within 24 hours.
  • After baby drinks from the bottle: discard leftovers.

Never do this

  • Do not microwave formula.
  • Do not use heaping scoops.
  • Do not reuse unfinished bottles.
  • Do not estimate water or powder by eye.

Water choice made simple

Water quality matters. Choose clean, low-mineral water whenever possible and avoid water sources that may contain excess fluoride, nitrates, or contaminants.

Low-fluoride water is preferred

If possible, avoid heavily fluoridated water. Kendamil formula already provides balanced nutrition, so unnecessary extra minerals may not be ideal.

If you use well water

Test it for nitrates and contaminants. Boiling can kill bacteria, but it does not remove nitrates or excess minerals.

Best bottled water options

If bottled water is needed, look for labels such as purified, distilled, demineralized, or reverse osmosis.

Choose water with low mineral content whenever possible.
If using tap water, boil first and cool it to the proper mixing temperature.
Always cool prepared formula to feeding temperature before offering it to your baby.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use tap water?
In many areas, tap water is safe. If you are uncertain about local water quality, boil it first and cool it to the correct preparation temperature before mixing.
Why should I avoid microwaving formula?
Microwaves can create dangerous hot spots and heat the bottle unevenly. This increases burn risk and makes temperature control less reliable.
How do I know the bottle is ready to feed?
Aim for about 98.6°F (37°C). Test a few drops on your wrist or forearm. The bottle should feel warm, never hot.
