Formula feeding at night

I took a flask of boiling water, bottles, rapid cool flask and milk already dispensed in a pot and made it that way, all in a basket next to the bed. I never did hot shot method I just made them up and poured the hot milk into the rapid cool as I had 2 x

We used to fill a thermos flask with freshly boiled water and had a Nuby rapid cool. I'd portion out the scoops of formula into a milk powder dispenser 😊 we had a little set up in the bedroom so it was much easier. We tried the hot shot method but it gave my baby diarrhoea so we never attempted it again.

If any advice get a basket and just have everything you need in it, I always got it all ready whilst my boyfriend was doing the last feed of the day and placed nappies and wipes etc next to it so I didn’t have far to reach or go as I also had a emergency c section! Saved my life the first few weeks, I will say you will naturally fall into your own routine with night feedings x

Hi, we used the pitcher method and have had no problems with it so far. You prepare the formula before hand and keep it in the fridge and use as needed. It can only last 24 hours in the fridge though. Having a portable fridge and bottle warmer upstairs will save you from going downstairs and counting scoops at 2am while sleepy and sleep deprived. Good luck!

We take a flask of boiling water, 3 bottles, formula prepped into a divider tub. Then we take 3 rapid cools. We make the bottle as normal in the mam bottle then pour the full thing into the rapid cool to make it drinking temperature. Of course then the rapid cools need cleaning and sterilising but we’ve found this is a lot better than the hot shot method xx
