How do you make your formula bottles for the day?
If I'm going out and feeding within 2 hours I use my TT machine and keep the bottle in an insulated pocket, but if I'm going out for longer I've been putting boiled water in a bottle and adding the powder when needed and warming up slightly (this was advice given from a family member with two young children) I've now read that this is no good as doesn't kill the bacteria in the milk- I didn't realise this as thought the milk was sterile, so I'm looking for advice-
-Do I use a flask?
-Does it need sterilising?
-Will it be ok for more than one feed?
-Does anyone recommend a flask?
..and finally lol
-Can I have a bottle of cooled boiled water, put 2oz boiling water into a 2nd bottle, mix the milk and add the cool water like the TT machine?
Sorry , 20 questions but I want to get it right. My LO hasn't had any issues so far but now I have realised my mistake, I want to do things properly!
On a side note (to save another post!) her 8 week jabs are being done at 10- is this ok?
