Formula feeding set up?
Hi all, sorry its a bit of a long one but any responses are greatly appreciated.
I just have a couple questions about formula feeding. I hope to breastfeed and pump but I fully understand i might not be able to straight away or may have difficulties so I'd like to be prepared for every option.
I will be mostly confined to my bedroom for space, I will not have much access to the kitchen so everything will be kept and stored in my room.
Could someone please fully walk me through what I would need to make a bottle of formula 😂 I have made them for my friends kids before but she told me just to use cold tap water and the powder and as far as I'm aware this is not how bottles are made.
So my main question is what setup would you recommend for somewhere that's not a kitchen for bottle making. (Kettle? Flasks? Water prep machine? Nuby?)
If someone suggests the nuby please also explain how they work i can't get my head round it.
The only thing I'll really be doing in the kitchen will be washing up his bottles :)
Thank you for reading and sorry if i sound completely stupid just trying to really get a grasp on what I need to plan for and buy 😂😅

Not stupid at all! I’d say have a kettle, nuby rapid cool, formula and bottles. The way I do it is add the boiled water to the bottle, and leave around 2.5oz for the hot shot and pour rest into rapid cool, I add my formula, swirl it round and then pour the rest from the nuby into the bottle and then feed. Alternatively if you don’t want to wait for kettle to boil, use a flask, maybe useful for night feeds! You can make the bottle and then cool it in the nuby but then you’ll have to sterilise it and then wait 3-4 hours before using it again, so if you’re doing it this way it might be worth getting 2! X
