Can you make aptamil formula in advance?

I’m new to the formula game. Can I make a bottle of formula at say 3pm and refrigerate it until I give it to my baby at say 5?

Yep you can make up all the bottles for the day in the morning and warm them individually through the day if you wanted to 🙂 just make them up like you would fresh pop the top and lid on, cool it as much under cold water from the tap then in to the fridge it is good for 24 hours 🍼 x

See that’s what I thought but it says no on their Q&A page 🫤

Odd it’s a standard formula preparation method on the nhs website, as long as baby hasn’t drunk from the bottle it’s good in the fridge for 24hours, otherwise they have to finish the bottle within 2 hours of starting the bottle 🙂

You can keep a bottle untouched for 2 hours so yeah it'll be absolutely fine.

This is so new to me. With my first refrigerating already made up formula was not a thing I was aware of.
I just made it as of when needed

The nhs now again, after many years of saying you can’t, advises that you can but it’s not best practice. The manufacturers still state that you can’t as they have not personally tested their milk under those conditions for safety so will not be held responsible if storage instructions aren’t followed and baby becomes unwell. It’s also likely certain aspects of the nutrition may degrade over time that it is stored as heating, cooling and reheating most things depletes nutritional values

apple juice 4 months old

hey mommies do anyone else’s doctors recommend starting their 4 month old on half an oz of apple juice or orange juice??

A full 8 hours

My 1 month and five week old newborn just slept 8 hours. I genuinely don’t know who blessed me, but good lord am I thankful. We really only woke up a few times to put her binky back in her mouth. She did just got home from the NICU and adjustment was pretty hard for the past few nights, so she certainly deserves a lot of sleep. Just happy to see her feeling more comfortable.

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

Baby hates me?

Why does my baby hate me. All she wants from me is to be fed and then screams and screams at me, she settles with everyone else and i don't understand what im doing wrong. I feel like the worst mum ever and am really struggling.

Is nursery a bit out of line?

Today I learned that my son was “seen by someone” when picking him up. Apparently speech therapist saw him in the nursery to evaluate him and I only learned about it on pick up.

No warning, no even proper explanation of what triggered it. With one staff member saying “he is not speaking at all”, and another dismissing it and saying it’s completely normal.

And everyone seem to dismiss my shock as he is the most chatty happiest child at home.

So it triggers me that instead of finding a way to get him “open up” and make him feel secure so he starts speaking naturally. They now decided he needs to be “fixed” and probably push him into more anxiety with it. Without even consulting us.

Front sleeping

My baby is 9 months old and I was told a while back that the sleep should always start in there back, is this true and why?
My baby always wants to front sleep now and I’m fighting every night to get the sleep to start on his back or side
