I assume they'll be able to give us hot water to make up formula... thinking about it, are there any key phrases we should learn to ask for this?

(first time to China, trying to learn at least a handful of phrases and I guess we will really need to know this one now!)
Not sure if the below helps:

Can you please get me some hot water, so I can make a bottle of powdered milk? (English) = Ni neng gei wo yi xie re shui rang wo neng chong nai fen? (Chinese Pinyin)

Milk Powder (English) = Nai Fen (Chinese Pinyin)
Milk (English) = Nai (Chinese Pinyin)
Hot Water (English) = Re Shui (Chinese Pinyin)
Water (English) = Shui (Chinese Pinyin)

Cheers.
