I’ve made a stupid mistake with formula and I’m in a bit of a panic. I’m not making enough milk to bf my daughter (she’s ten weeks old on Monday) so have had to increase her formula bottles. To help get through the night I sterilise a flask with milton then fill with boiling water, take it upstairs along with sterilised bottles and formula powder. When she starts storing in the night I make a bottle on my bedside table, put it in the ensuite sink with sold water to cool down, do her nappy etc then feed her when it’s cooled enough. This has been a solution what works well especially as my husband just sleeps or complains and just me no help.
This morning my older daughter came in (6) and then my baby started crying. I made a bottle and left in on the side, did her nappy, came back, bottle was cool enough and I fed her.
The panic now is because I’ve realised I never cooled her bottle because I didn’t need to, which means the water would have been below 70c and it’s meant to be higher than 70 to kill any bacteria in the formula.
I’m panicking thinking she’s guzzled a bottle full of bacteria riddled milk and she’s only almost ten weeks old which is still little and I’m not sure what to do.
