How do you make your bottles

A suggestion I’ve used recently

Pour fresh boiling water into one bottle, put the powder into another bottle, then when you’re out ask for some boiling water to add to the powder (2 ounces)

Top up with the cooled boiled water

I use this when on the go! It’s amazing!

The rapidcool is so good - I use the hotshot method with it
-pour hot water in bottle to the oz you need
-Pour most of the water into rapidcool leaving about an oz or two in the bottle
-rapidcool starts to cool down the water whilst I add milk powder to bottle and mix
-once water is cooled, pour into bottle and mix it
Takes me about 3-4 mins to make a bottle that way, and rapidcool doesn’t need to be sterilised after each use the way it would with the screenshot above (if you put the milk into it)

I don't use a prep machine as I just don't like them . They are germ factory's in my opinion. I have a 1 cup kettle which I just boil add 1.5 of boiled water add 4 scoops. Swirl it then add 2.5ml of cold distilled water. I just make it how it says on the tin really. But I kill the bacteria off in the milk first. Xx

i have a jug of cooled boiled water for the day which i leave on the. once bottles are sterile, i fill them with the cooled boiled water to the oz/ml amount. they remain on the side until bottle time, them we add the powder, bottle and the bottle is ready. saves so much time for us. also, with our first we warmed milk but then he would not drink milk unless it was warmed making some trips out very difficult. this time round with our little girl milk is room temp, as the cooled boiled water is stored at room temp. she has not issues drinking it at this temp and life is all round easier

@Hayleigh thanks. Hoping for ideas that cover not needing to get water from somewhere as that still limits going out to ensuring we are near a cafe or something. X

@Sam sorry if I'm misunderstanding. Are you saying you add the powder to the cooled water? Isn't the powder supposed to be in over 70 degree water as that's the temp to ensure bacteria is killed?

take a flask/thermos with hot water, if you can’t make it up beforehand then that’s the only way you’re going to be able to do it

I have a bottle of boiled water in the fridge and then when making a bottle do a hot shot of boiling water from the kettle then use the fridge water to top and bring it to a drinkable temp x

@April thanks. What do you do when out and about- without relying on retailer's to provide boiled water?

yes che I am sure the formula power needs to be added to hot boiled water at 70degrees not less as it would defeat the purpose of killing any bacteria in the powder

you could still use cooled boiled water if you added a little hotshot of boiled water before and mixed the powder to dissolve kill any bacteria.. you just add a little no need to add the full oz then top it up with boiled cool water x
