How do you make a bottle in middle of night. I mean what do you actually do, not what you should do

[1978andallthat]

All that boiling the kettle and letting it cool malarkey no good at 3am. What do you really do in middle of night? Straight from fridge? Thermos by bed? Ready made? Am mix feeding newborn and never really cracked this with dd so want a better middle of the night system for ds.

Ive also been pondering this, so I've done some research and spoken to a microbiologist at the World Health Organisation. See: www.lindageddes.com/133/pouring-cold-water-on-baby-formula

You cannot pre make bottles at night or anytime unless its from boiled water left to cool for 30 mins, then they would have to be stored in a fridge. The safest way to make a bottle of formula is to boil 1 litre of water and let cool for 30 mins. World health Organisation says it takes 30 mins for 1 litre of water to cool to 70 degrees. Not 500mls or 300 mls because we don't know how long it takes those volumes to cool down to 70 degrees. It needs to he 70 degrees to sterilise baby formula powder, not freshly boiled water cooled down in bowls of ice water?? How long has that stayed at 70 degrees?? If its not the correct temperature i.e. 70 degrees to sterilise formula, you are putting your baby at risk of gastroenteritis causing diarrhoea and vomiting which could be fatal. For ease and quicker feeds at night use a thermos flask to store the water, once its cooled after 30 mins. Or just use prepared cartons ...its easy!
I am a retired Midwife and a Maternity Nurse. It never ceases to amaze me why parents try to avoid following these national and safe guidelines of correctly making up a formula feed???
