Regarding your question, the Formula Pro Advanced does not heat water to 70°C, which is sometimes referred to as a “hot shot.” Here’s some helpful context around formula preparation:
Balancing Safety, Nutrition & Convenience
There’s no global standard for formula prep—some health organisations recommend using water heated to at least 70°C to kill bacteria like Cronobacter sakazakii, especially for vulnerable infants (e.g. premature babies or those in NICU). While this reduces risk, contamination is extremely rare—about 1 in 100,000 newborns in the U.S. (2016 data), often in high-risk cases.
At the same time, heating water to 70°C can degrade heat-sensitive nutrients, as noted by experts like the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). So there’s a trade-off between sterilisation and preserving nutrition.
The Challenge for Parents
Strict prep guidelines can be tough to follow, especially when caring for a hungry baby. Studies show boiling and cooling water can take 10+ minutes, and hand-scooping powder is often inaccurate (up to 25% off due to volume-based measurement). These challenges make perfect adherence difficult for many parents.

Given the very low risk of contamination and the variation in expert advice, many parents choose methods that best suit their lifestyle. The Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced offers a practical, hygienic solution that supports both safety and nutrition.
