How do you make up your bottles for baby???

[justbeingmummy]

Hi,
I know the 'correct' way is to make one as needed and boil the water, wait 30 mins add milk and cool for baby but how many of us actually do this?

With my DS 4 yrs ago I used to boil the water, fill about 4 bottles and leave them until needed and add the milk then. I know this is totally wrong and if I ask a midwife/health visitor they will stick to the guidelines so cant ask, but really cant imagine my DS being happy to scream for 30 mins while I make a fresh bottle from scratch??

Would you be able to post a link to the thread please?

See above for link. I will bump it for people too.

I hope I've not come across as brisk. It was not my intention. I absolutely understand how much of a faff making up formula can be at first - newborns are such hard work and are incredibly time consuming, and when you're dealing with a new baby and you have no idea when they are going to be hungry etc, it can be an enormous stress and feel like a huge hassle. This is why I made up bottles in advance when DD was newborn, and why I still do a lot of the time. But I still think it's important to follow the guidelines, rather than taking shortcuts. And making it up properly (with hot water) is easy to do.

I hope the info on the thread helps.

Argh, link didn't post properly. WIll try again -
