Ok - so I have checked through back threads, and tbh, that's just confused me further!
Baby is 3 weeks old. Have just stopped bf'ing (upsetting, but just couldn't continue, health issues) so am onto bottles sadly.
We have a tommy tippee steriliser. It says once you open the steriliser the bottles are no longer sterile! Sooo....what are you supposed to do?
This whole boiling the kettle half an hour before the feed is not conduicive to feeding a hungry tiny 3 week old baby.
Can I take ALL of the bottles out of the steriliser, make the bottles up, fill up with cooled boiled water, leave on the side and simply ADD the powder as and when we need them?
OR do we make up all the bottles into milk, leave to cool and then store the bottles in the fridge?
OR do I simply sterilise a bottle at a time and make up just for that feed?
BF'ing was definitely less confusing!!!
