OK I will admit I make my formula the naughty way! I pre make a few bottles with kettle water as instructed, and then store them below 4 degrees c. Some people will accuse me of being a bad mum even for that, so I'm probably being a bit of hypocrite here....
But the way a couple of my friends make their formula is making me cringe....
they both have newborns, and they are putting the boiled water in the bottles, then putting the water in the fridge, then adding formula to the cold water as they go.
Now.... as far as I am aware, the whole point of the HOT water is to kill the germs in the formula as it isn't sterile...?
I haven't said anything to them, because having a 6mo myself I know how it feels to be told what to do with your baby.
But AIBU to think this is an arse about face way of making bottles... they might as well not be sterilising anything for all they are doing?
