Is anyone else premaking bottles and popping them in the fridge?
The midwife has said it’s ok for us to do this but I can’t remember if I need to let them cool fully before putting them in the fridge or do I just put them straight into the fridge? Hoping someone is doing the same and can help!

i’ve been putting them straight in the fridge, i haven’t heard different!

i think once used it cant be put in the fridge, from what i read it says a bottle is only good for an hour after first use x

No I’m not I use to do this with my first (16 years ago) 🤦🏻♀️🤣 but in my area they say not to do it because of bacteria etc so make them as and when needed it shows you different areas say different things now 🤦🏻♀️ x
it’s not for used bottles it’s for fresh unused bottles so we don’t have to make a bottle up for every feed, we just warm one from the fridge
I know it gets so confusing but he seems to be doing well with this 🙈
I thought with the bacteria, as long as the formula goes into boiled water (above 70 degrees) that kills off the bacteria. Such a minefield for newborns!

I do this - it's so much easier! I put them in water to cool quickly then put at the back of the fridge :)

How do you warm them back up? And how quickly do they get to a nice warm temperature?
Thinking middle of the night, baby frantic wanting the bottle… like NOW! 😅

In all the classes I went to they said not to do this… strange how different areas have different rules 🥴

I use a Nuby bottle warmer, it only takes a few minutes
I always wake up when he’s just starting to wriggle around and go stick the bottle in a jug of hot water, he drinks it lukewarm so it only takes a few mins.. I can be changing his nappy whilst it’s warming up 😁
