hello :)
My baby is 5 days old today... For the last 3 days we have been bottle feeding (lots of issues with breast feeding that I was totally gutted about!!) basically the way we do this is.... Sterilise the bottles, boil the kettle, add boiling water to sterilised bottles and put the lids on. When baby wants a bottle we add the powder to one bottle shake and give it to her at room temp which she seems to enjoy. We never go back to bottles or even go by the 2 hour rule always discard any unwanted milk.
My health visitor has just been and told me to make each bottle when needed and cool it down under the tap, or use a flask to store hot water to make feeds at night. But on the milk packet it says not to add milk to boiling water and to leave water to cool for 30 minutes? That water is just as cool as the water in my ready made up bottles?? Just wondering what everyone's veiws were and if you think I should change the way I'm making them up. Baby seems fine, poops wees sleeps great seems very happy and content apart from a little wind and the occasional hiccups (which she used to get before being born anyway) just don't want to make her ill !! Thanks guys :) xx
