Colief and expressed milk and ready to go formula?

DaisyDuke · Dec 30th, 2009, 12:41 PM

Hi were trying Colief and had a majorly bad night so dh wants to take her off me to get some sleep and give her some expressed milk and if that runs out some ready to go forumla the stuff in the carton. How is best to give this? Does the ready to go forumla need to sit for 30 mins? If so how do u keep it warm. And im asuming she can just have the expressed milk in a bottle cos there is no difference from having a little with expressed milk then feeding from me?

Thanks girls.

hi hun

we use ready to use fomula and have to warm the formula in bottle, then put the colief in it and the put it in a insulating bottle thingy for 30 mins.

If your using expressed milk id would presume you will warm it first? so there fore need to put colief in warmed milk and then wait 30 mins.
we sometime only do 20 mins if Willow is screaming for food!

invest in a bottle insulator. Tommee Tippe do them. there great for feeding on the go too!

Thanks, i asumed that we dont need to wait with the expressed milk? Cos to bf u just add it to a tiny bit of expressed milk give straight away and feed as normal? So i thought it would be the same for giving the expressed milk by bottle? Would it be ok to put the bottle to keep warm in my insualted bottle area of my changing bag? Also how long can u leave it in there. For example if dh makes it up before she wants it can it sit in the insulated thing for a few hours?
