Bottle night feeds with older siblings in the house

[SPR1107]

How do you do it so there's as little disruption to the rest of the house as possible?

Do you prep bottles / have flasks / machine next to bed so you don't have to go downstairs?
Or do you go downstairs and make bottle as normal?

Do you feed in your bed?
Do you feed downstairs?
Do you feed in their nursery?

Does any crying wake your other children?

Just a general wondering of what other people have found to work

We kept our babies in our room. Bottle premade in the fridge, pop downstairs and boil the kettle, Carey the bottle up in a jug of boiling water to take the cold edge off and feed baby in our bed.

And nope my younger ones never woke the older child/ten.

I kept the bottle in a cooler made with less water. A flask of boiling water in the bedroom, then topped it up there. Probably different guidelines now.

Bottle fed DD2 from day 1 as had double mastectomy.

Bought 2 x perfect preps, one in kitchen, one in our room on top floor. Bought for £50, sold for £30. Immediate milk in the middle of the night in our room in loft, no other disturbance needed.

I took ready made carton and a sterile bottle up each night. Little night light to see what I was doing to pour it in and 4 year old next door was never woken by crying to be honest

DS is 5.5 weeks and I have two DDs (3 and 5) that sleep in the room next to us. We have a perfect prep machine downstairs and go down to make the bottles. He does cry a bit when he's being changed but other than that makes very little noise at all at night. DDs haven't been disturbed once. They are heavy sleepers though.

Tommee tippee perfect prep machine in our bedroom...absolute godsend, especially for night feeds!

takes time to go downstairs so we put a space for baby's things.

Perfect. My plan was to do as I did with DS1.. which was take up a boiling hot flask, and a room temp flask, and small pots of formula and make them up in my room.
I was just worried that the crying might wake DS1 who sleeps next door (fairly newish build, thin walls). But sounds as though nobody else has hand many issues with their older children waking, so I'll stick to doing that.
Thanks all!

My two shared a room and the baby never woke the older one! Little children sleep through loads of noise.
