Nutramigen - prep machine
Show your support
We were told to make the same as regular formula. Still need hot water to kill any potential bacteria
We use the prep machine as we used too. Formula, hot shot to kill bacteria, mix then cool shot to drink
@Megan that makes sense thank you! X
Nutrimagen is different!! Please read the label on the tin. It isn’t actually to be made with boiling water it does state this! Cooled boiled water and serve as is. Every other formula is to be done with a hot shot but this one isn’t😊
I know what the tin says however I was advised by the GP to continue making it this way so unless her dietician/consultant says different I’ll continue as is, so far so good.
@Steph Nutramigen is different. The protein binding they use in the milk can be destroyed with boiling water. Thats why it should be used with cooled water. Other allergy milks do use boiling but not Nutramigen LGG 1.
@Summer that’s why I asked because of what it said on the tin but thought if I did as Megan said above the water will be cooled and not boiling ☺️ I will probably just boil and cook for future but little man is going be hungry in a min so it won’t cool in time xx
My girl is mixed feeding with nutramigen and we boil the water and fill up bottles in the morning as boiled water in sterile bottles stays sterile for 24hrs.
@Emma It kills the LGG using boiling water but the GP explained it’s almost between definitively safe milk using 70 degree water as there’s no way of assuring it’s safe with cooled water, and then offering a pro-biotic to treat the gut which we’ve done from birth, or keeping the LGG which is a pro-biotic in the milk and having potential harmful bacteria’s in the milk as is the case in any powdered milk. Not I’m caught between what’s correct reading this thread 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah cooled boiled is fine but no need for the hot shot😊 and yeah as a one off because baby is hungry that’s fine but I would 100% prepare as the tin says in the future x
@Steph if you have been advised that from the GP and that's what works for you then go with it. There's always at least 5 answers to every question when it comes to babies, and most of them are different versions of correct if you feel safer doing that then you have to do the best for your baby. I am a health professional and I personally would choose to follow the guidelines made by the formula company/ experts over a GP as their knowledge seems to be more generalised than specific although what you have explained does make rational sense too 😊
My baby has been on nutramigen for 6 weeks now and we’ve been using the prep machine as normal as also advised by the GP - my little boy has been fine. Don’t know how else you’re supposed to kill harmful bacteria and GP said this was fine 🤷🏻♀️
@Emma it’s all just so confusing 🤦♀️
@Emma I’m glad i wasn’t the only one 🤷🏻♀️
I do cool boiled water prepped for the night feeds and if I got out but we use the prep machine at home in the day. You just do hot shot, then the cold amount and then add formula last. So press it twice then add the formula and shake last.
