I’ve finally got some carobel to thicken my little one’s feeds as he’s on an amino acid based formula.
I normally make his bottles and put them in the fridge but how would I go about adding the carobel if I did this.
I normally make up 4 bottles but then in the fridge and take them out when needed and heat them with my bottle warmer.
At what stage would I add the carobel or do I need to be making them fresh now?

Should make them fresh regardless because if bacteria build up. I know as my mate used it for her little one she was able to add it to pre-made formula when out and about so should be the same here. I just add it when I make her bottles and I always take hot water out with me so I’ve never put it in a cold bottle. She’s on prescription milk also which is stupidly thin.

thankyou yes it’s very thin so needed something to thicken it

I premake my bottles as well. Once uve warmed bottle up then add carobel and let sit for 4 minutes before u give them the bottle. When making bottle on go if u use nuby make sure u add carobel to milk after it's cooled down don't add when water is hot x

thankyou x

he’s on omeprazole too which works well just needed a little extra to thicken the feed x
