Struggling how to give DD colief in night feeds?

My DD has been struggling with really bad wind which has been making her so uncomfortable and upset during feeds (she is formula fed). I have bought some Colief after seeing good reviews but have now seen that you have to put it in the formula then wait 30 mins for it to work, before giving the feed.

This has been OK today during the daytime but I don't make bottles in advance and feed as/when DD is hungry so I don't know how I can do this for night feeds? DD tends to wake hungry and if I were to wait 30 mins for her bottle she would be screaming the house down - we have a bottle prep machine so usually we can make a bottle up in a couple of minutes.

Does anyone have any suggestions or how did you use Colief? My DP has suggested we only use it for daytime feeds but I don't want her to go back to being in pain, or to have to upset her by making her wait so long when she wakes up hungry.

There is another brand you can get that you don't have to wait 30 minutes for, sorry, I can't remember the name.

Or, make bottle, add colief and store in cool bag with ice pack. This is what I did.

My second had really bad colic and colief was the miracle cure. We premade bottles (with colief) and stored them in the fridge. I warmed them up in the microwave (which is against what they say but as long as you shake and swirl to avoid hot spots, it's fine).
