Advice girls?
I know the midwife's and health visitors change the rules all the time so I was wondering how yous make up your bortles, once boiled the water do you add formula as and when needed or do you make the bottles up and store in the fridge? X

I used to make up 6 bottles at a time, 6 for the day and 6 for the night. I'd boil the kettle and then leave them at room temp (she'd only drink them at room temp) and then I'd add formula as needed. I tried boiling the kettle every time for the first week but trying to quickly cool a bottle down with a screaming baby isn't fun 😂

I used to store it in the fridge but now I boil the kettle, let it cool down and put the bottles in the sterlizer then when he wants one I just go in the kitchen and make one up. I know they say the water should be boiling when you add the formula but its ridiculous cause then you end up with a screaming baby whilst its cooling down. Each to their own though! Xxx

But if the water is boiled even though not just boiled it should be okay shouldn't it because like you say it's a faf on when baby needs feeding x

yeah but apparently the water should be boiling when you add formula because there can be bacteria in the formula and the boiling water kills it. (Sometimes I do it when its warm) its just ridiculous now the amount of rules for formula I think they are over doing it! Xx

That's how I use to make them with my eldest then they told me to make them up with formula and put them in the fridge with my youngest but it's much easier doing it the way you did and I did the first time round because keeping them in fridge then I have to warm then up and like you said it's not fun when little one is screaming to be fed x @octoberbaby2019

I used to boil the water and add the powder at each feed then warm it up as my daughter didn't like cold milk
Boiled water lasts for 24 hours
I used to use a jug just for that add the water then powder.

I made a few at a time with my 1st and stored them in the fridge then warmed them up for her as and when, this time i got a prep machine and have to say it is a lot easier x

I agree with @abbyrose,
I hated trying to make bottles and cool them down when he was screaming for a bottle! I got a prep machine and it was life changing! Especially at night lol! Literally takes a minute and his bottle is at the perfect temp that he likes it. xx

I've never used a prep machine so I don't have a clue about them but it sounds like they are good x

To make a 6oz bottle:
2oz of fresh boiled water
6 scoops of powder
4oz of cool boiled water.
That's how I used to do it for our night time bottle x

I always have one of his bottles filled with cooled boiled water. And a flask with boiling water. So i just mix the cold with hot so its warm and add the formula.
I always top up the cooled boiled water bottle with hot water xx
