My baby boy is now 2 weeks old. We spent the first week of his life in hospital, where they did not allow powder formula, so we fed him liquid ready made one. As unfortunately, although it is convenient and I would love to be able to afford with it, it's too expensive and we will be switching to powder.
We feed him every 3 hours or so, and most of the time, he sleeps and we wake him up for the feeds, which is fine. But sometimes, especially at night, he wakes us up to eat and he is LOUD, no way I could wait 30 minutes + to prepare his food with him waking up the whole street. We did get a kettle that can preheat water to 70 degrees, but then waiting for it to cool down will still take forever with a screaming toddler, any ways to make it faster?
I have looked into the machine that makes the feed in 2 minutes, but apparently they are not recommended as can be a bit unhygenic or something along these lines, my midwife was not a fan for some reason.
How do people cope with it?
