Nursery wants pre-made bottles !

[workingmom2000]

DS will be starting nursery full-time in a few weeks at 6 months. I called them today to find out what all we need to bring in when we start and they require readymade bottles.

As ds is only going to be 6 months, he is still having 5 feeds a day i.e. 3 of these would end up being at the nursery. I thought premade bottles was considered risky ! so now i'm not so sure how to go about it?
Do I just prepare the bottles using powder in the morning and keep them in the bottle bag until I deliver them to the nursery upon which they put them in the fridge? Or should we use the cartons to prepare the milk?

Has anyone had to do this?

our nursery used to make bottles but since the credit crunch they say to keep the fees the same they are asking parents to provide the milk

You cant give them powder in a tin because they cant store all those tins as they dont have space

They might not like cartons but the cartons are sterile, so you could (if worried) pour cartons into freshly-sterilised bottles and refrigerate? Bit costly though for 3x a day but depends if your dc is PT or FT?

My DS's nursery asked for this and it never bothered me. I preferred to make them myself tbh, although it was a faff in the morning. I agree that as long as the whole process is sterile then there shouldn't be too much of a problem. I used to do the same myself at home until I figured out a way of making up bottles on demand, and following the guidelines, without taking ages about it.
