Question
Can 65-degree water burn a baby?
Answer
65-degree water can indeed burn a baby. When preparing formula milk, overly hot water may damage the proteins in the milk. It is recommended to use water around 45 degrees Celsius, which can be tested by dropping a drop on the wrist after mixing the formula to ensure it’s neither too cold nor too hot. This temperature is suitable for feeding babies. Additionally, it is suggested to consider calcium supplementation, as the symptoms you mentioned may be related to calcium deficiency, and yogurt is also a good source of calcium.
