How are you making bottles? The whole process please

When my first was on formula this was how I made mine - the only difference was I left my bottles out to dry overnight (the feeling of wet bottles gave me the ick lol). Sounds good to me though lovely x

Are you talking about bulk making them or making 1 at a time?

Why are you rinsing the bottles under tap water after sterilising? That defeats the point no?

I feel like Milton is so complicated now that you need to rinse with drinking water. As I understand, you should not use water straight from the tap to rinse. It needs to be boiled in a kettle, cooled, then used to rinse. For this reason we got rid of the Milton and bought a steam steriliser. It’s so easy and takes no time at all. It’s also the same size as the Milton and no drying rack required, so saves on space.

In respect of the rapid cool, I think you are supposed to add all the water to the rapid cool, not just some of it?

I don't know what bottles you are using but I use tommee tippee as they are the easiest to microwave sterilise. If you are using Milton rinsing under the tap is fine.

I wash and sterilise all my bottles in the microwave and they are then good to use for 24 hours after. I also boil a kettle first thing and use a flask to keep my boiling water for the day so I'm not constantly boiling kettles and can go out easily. I also keep formula measured out in pots to save myself time.

When making a bottle I:
- measure water into bottle
- pour all but 1oz into rapid cool
- mix powder with boiling water in bottle
- when rapid cool is green mix that water into bottle
- check bottle is cool enough and feed
