I make up a station for my bedside table which has 2 Nuby rapid cool, boiling water in a flask, pre measured formula and sterilised bottles.
My baby has three night feeds so after the second one I top up the water and sterilise the Nuby.
This has saved me sooo much sleep than trekking up and down to the kitchen. Hope this helps!
ohhh okayyy, how do you make the bottles then? X

We have a kettle upstairs because I couldn't find a flask that kept water hot enough all night. It's also handy as we spend a lot of time upstairs when it's just us 2.
I use the nuby too, but I use the hot shot method so it doesn't need sterilising! It's a game changer x

I need to try the hot shot method! But so far I measure out hot water in the bottle, pour into the Nuby and then the formula, shake until green then back in the bottle to feed x

I have a flask of boiling water and a bottle of cooled down boiled water and as my daughters on 6oz I do 3oz of boiling water and then add the formula and then add a further 3oz of cooled down boiled water. I've found this is the quickest and easiest way to get a bottle immediately at the right temperature!
what’s the hot shot method?

It's easier to look on tiktok or YouTube as it's quite tricky to explain

Tomme tippee prep machine! Is super easy and not loosing time 😀
we’ve been told the prep machine shouldn’t be used as it doesn’t reach right temperature

Everyone use the prep machines 😀 They told me same but who wants to loose 1hr every time the baby wakeup to prepare milk? You wont get any sleep if you have a baby like mine eating every 3hrs! 😀

My son isn’t on Aptamil Pepti yet but think he’s going to be soon. We have a perfect prep machine and I got a thermometer specifically to periodically test the temperature of the hot shot and it has been 73 degrees or above every time. Not sure what the difference in that is than boiling kettle and leaving for half hour as how do you know the temperature of the water inside? 🤷🏻♀️

Prep machine has worked wonders for me 👌
do you put the formula in the hot shot and then let the cold water go into the bottle?

I put the formula in the bottle first (along with his gaviscon as he’s on that too) then do the hot shot, lid on and swirl well then lid off and back under for the cool water lid back on, swirl and then feed 😊 x

i have always done like this! I never put the formula first

Yes that’s the correct way

We Fill a flask up before bedand make the bottle when needed. Cool it down in jug of cold water whilst changing bum: always worked for us xx

What about making in advance and storing in fridge? Can you not do that with pepti?

no formula should be kept for more than 2hours! After that is not good anymore
