I know this might sound like a silly question, but does anybody know why we are only meant to use water that has been boiled only once? It is something to do with the water being sterile? I seem to be wasting ALOT of water as i need to put in a minimun amount of water in my kettle which would make up 3 bottles, but because the water needs to be freshly boiled, i throw away what i haven't used, instead of boiling it again to be used and it just feels like i am wasting water which isn't very "eco"

Hiya,

*Blush* I never heard this when I was formula feeding DD and I admittedly re-used the water that was left over in the kettle.

I am certainly intrigued now so let me know if you find out they reason why, lol.

Luv & Hugs
