Perfect prep for my twins

6 replies

My twins are 11 weeks old, and the night feeds can get a little crazy when both boys are screaming at the same time, so i just bought a tommee tippee perfect prep machine. But since using this, one of my twins have become very agitated during feeds, won't settled after, sounds like lots of air in his tummy and I struggle to get him to take his whole bottle now. Is this a coincidence? We have only used the machine for 4 feeds so my partner said I'm over thinking it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I bought one when I had my second baby. He suffered from colic and I felt he was worse after using the perfect prep. I sold it very quickly and just premade the bottles and stored in the fridge. I never bought a new one when the next babies came along.
Obviously, there's no proof it was the prep machine that made a difference but I certainly felt better making the bottles myself!

I’m on a support group for babies with reflux and a few people there have said that the PP machine makes their babies worse, so there definitely could be something in it.

I think the problem with the prep machine is that it makes the milk at room temperature and I find my baby suffers with terrible wind when the milk isn’t warm enough. She brings her wind up so much better with slightly warmer than normal milk (and she prefers it that way!)

I just used cartons in the night fir my twins. So much easier

As above, could you just use the ready made cartons overnight?

Or you do know you can safely pre make bottles and put int he fridge in advance? It actually says this is fine on packaging. It says make fresh OR make and cool straight away, and store in main fridge (not door) for you to 24hrs. So you could make at least 3 bottles each before bed, and then use those overnight or first thing. You just can’t let baby drink from a bottle then put remaining in fridge
