Formula Feeding help please!

[TheHermitCrab]

Hi guys, been combination feeding my 2 week old since birth, but I'm starting to feed her more and more formula and I am just confused about the preparation of the powder online! (I've been using the pricey pre-made bottles)

Sooo I know you can't pre make the formula and store. But obviously boiling a litre of water and waiting half an hour each feed seems a farce!

Am I right in thinking I can boil a litre of water, measure all the water into sterilised bottles, then store in the fridge and just add the powder as and when. Is that the correct method?

Thanks people!!

I didn't wait half an hour... I boiled the kettle with less in then waited less time. 5 mins ish. It just needs to be not boiling (as that scalds the milk) but not less than 70 degrees. The a couple of mins to cool under the tap. It would take 10 mins to warm it to the desired temp (my baby was fussy and had it warm). So not much different here! I wasn't judging you for doing it any other way, just telling you how it was for us! As I said, sometimes I did it in advance and kept it on the fridge for a couple of hours til the next feed.

10 mins under a tap? blimey! My baby has never had anything other than cold or room temp milk luckily :)

If I'm going to do it from scratch then I may as well do it the litre way and the proper way, otherwise I'm just risking it being as wrong as me popping it in the fridge. (i.e going under 70 degrees and not knowing) x

A bit long after I girst posted, but that Argos link you posted OP is exactly what I meant OP.
