Household water heaters heat water for washing, not for drinking. Water out of the hot tap generally has health-threatening levels of heavy metals (such as lead), as well as an off taste. You should consider this water unfit for human consumption. Incidentally, if you live in the United States in a house whose plumbing system was constructed between the 1930s and the late 1970s, it's a good idea to let the cold tap run at full for about a minute before using it.

Is it okay to use hot water from the tap to make baby formula?

Operations FAQ : Utility Services of Alaska
No. Hot water may contain impurities that come from the hot water heater and plumbing in your house. To avoid this, use cold water and let the water run for a couple of minutes before you use it if that tap has not been used for a while, overnight, or all day. You can then heat this water in the microwave or on the stove. Catching the water you flush out of the tap in a container and saving it for plant watering is a good conservation measure.
