What to do with baby while making bottle

[CheryB7]

My first ungoogleable question!

All the videos show how to make up a baby bottle but none of them feature an actual baby. All the articles talk about positioning baby for the actual feed but there is nothing about where to put baby while making the bottle; the mechanics are all well and good but what about the practicalities of involving an actual baby….

During the night when the baby cries for food you get up together, you then need both hands to make the bottle (even using a perfect prep machine), you don’t want to leave baby unsettled while you make the bottle but other than holding baby while making bottle which seems impractical, or leaving baby crying in a Moses basket nearby which seems heartless, where are you meant to place baby while you prepare their feed?!

Just looking for a safe practical answer about what to do physically with crying baby while simultaneously making their bottle please.

I used to take prep machine upstairs with me every night so I literally had it on the set of drawers by the bed

Bouncy chair, sling, leave them for the three minutes it takes to make a bottle or get them used to drinking room temp ready made.

I am glad you have sorted out the bottles issue OP.

Now, have you thought about how you are going to deal with one handed weeing..........?

I used to put mine in a baby bouncer. The only issue was that sometimes he would have gone back to sleep by the time I'd made the bottle
