Question

When preparing formula milk for newborns, should you use hot water or warm water? Should you first cool boiling water to an appropriate temperature before preparing, or can you use water at the correct temperature directly? Will this affect the quality of the formula milk? I usually add hot water and then test the temperature with my mouth until it’s not too hot before preparing the formula milk. Is this method feasible? Recently, my baby’s stool has turned dark green, could this be related to the preparation method?
