Hi
I'm a 1st time Mum so apologies if this sounds like the most basic question(s) ever!
My LO is EBF at the moment but I'm thinking about introducing 1 formula feed some time in the next few weeks. I'm thinking that I will introduce this feed at about 10-10.30pm.
I'm an intelligent person but seem to be having a complete mind blank when it comes to making up these feeds + timing
I've got a big tub of Aptamil and have been reading the instructions. It says to allow the kettle to cool down for 30 mins and to only make up a feed as you need it and not in advance? Therefore, because I can't exactly predict when my LO wants to feed how can I occupy them while Im waiting the 30mins for the water to cool?? By this point, I think she would be purple and hysterical.
Also, when it comes to her having formula during the day how do I go about making up a feed when I'm out and about?
Really, I'm looking for any top tips/suggestions that other more experienced mums have got.
I obviously don't want to cut corners/risk hygiene/health but want some ideas about to make things easier/more organised.
My mum's advice is to make up feeds in advance as that's what she used to do.
Many Thanks in advance
