I wonder if you could help a friend of mine. She gave birth last week and after a very traumatic delivery her baby wouldn?t take to the breast. She?s now bottle feeding but hasn?t had a chance to read up on it and she?s been getting a lot of conflicting advice about making up bottles.
One midwife is saying that current advice is that each bottle should be made when you need it and not in advance. Another is saying that you can make up the water in the bottle but not add the powder until the last minute. Others are saying that of course you can make up a day?s worth of bottles in advance ? how else is it practical?
What have you been told? What do you do? Any advice and tips very gratefully received.
She?s home from hospital tomorrow (Wed) so responses by then would be great.
Many, many thanks,
Pumpkin
