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've never used a prep machine so I don't have a clue about them but it sounds like they are good 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 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 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.
Get a prep machine, there amazing and save you all this hassle x
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 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
@halieydunlop29 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
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 😂
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

AF due 29th, anyone else?
Hi all AF is due 29th Sept for me feels like forever away. Has anyone tested yet or when do you plan on testing 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
