For those of you who formula feed and prepare your bottles in advance ... What is the process please? I prepare each bottle as and when needed through the day but I'm thinking of prepping 2 or 3 in advance for overnight to save time (so I can just warm up) But I've no idea where to start? Doni just make up the bottles, cool, refrigerate? Then warm up as and when needed within 24hrs?

Exactly that. We do this for our little one overnight. As soon as he cries we then have time to warm the bottle whilst changing his nappy, so once that's done the bottle is warm to go
thank you! And you've never had any issues? I'm so worried about making her poorly 😬 Do you put the formula in the fridge red hot as soon as its made or do you cool it then refrigerate?

I don't know if we're doing it the right way but we get all the bottles sterilsed, boil the kettle, wait half an hour then put the water in the bottles. We then just add the formula when he's ready to be fed xx Warm them up a tiny bit cold and then cool them down if warm xx

On a night, our baby has formula. We combi feed and I boil kettle and put water in a tea flask and and it's the right temperature when we go back to make a bottle. I don't make them in advanced as you're not supposed to apparently

We make them up, cool them and pop in the fridge. Warm them while changing the nappy. I know it is not what you are supposed to do but I'm on baby number 3 and haven't had any problems 🤷

We pop them in the fridge after they've cooled so not right away.
Then we either warm up or take out the fridge an hour before feed and give at room temp.
So far he's not had any issues x

Can I ask, how do you warm them up? We are moving more towards formula!

We put the set amount of formula in each bottle and then have a flask of boiled water. Takes us like 30 seconds to make a feed now. Saves stress in the night xx

we warm ours up the old fashioned way in a jug of water. You can get bottle warmers though :)

Thank you! Do you test the temperature on your hand first?!

we either use a jug of boiled water (take a flask up to bed) and leave for 6mins from fridge or we have tommee tippee bottle warmer (got from facebook 2nd hand) and this heats the water and we pop in for 4mins x

yeah everytime :)
