Thick Newbie question...

[sleepdodger]

Am an ebf-er and having to leave my baby for 9 hrs tomorrow with dh
have expressed 4 bottles varying 90-120ml but am worried this wnt be enough so brgrudgingly bought a few cartons of ready made aptamil
so
how does sh give these to ds, just pop into steraliswd bottle & warm to ok temp for baby or does it need to be nuked & left to cool?
Please excuse total ignorance....
Thanks for help x

How old is your baby?

Regardless, you just need to empty the cartons into clean (not necessarily sterile) bottles. Presumably they haven't been chilled, so no need to warm.

For 9 hours you'll need around 9oz/250ml, so it sounds like you have more than enough ebm.

The ready made cartons are ready to feed so you can serve at room temp or warm slightly.

Thank you!
Tbh it's for my peace of mind should dh call in a panic !
I'm v grateful as everfor your help!

It's easy to overfeed a baby from a bottle because they like to keep sucking, so maybe tell your DH to only offer 2 or 3oz at a time and then give the baby a dummy or take him out for a walk - if he presents him with a 7oz bottle he's likely to glug the lot and then be very uncomfortable!

Agree with Rita, my dd guzzles from bottles and when she was younger she would drink and drink then be sick.

You don't have to warm the milk at all, whether its formula from a carton or expressed milk. Room temp is fine. My dd takes expressed milk straight from the fridge.
