How do u lot do it? I mean for the 1st morning feed, i do them before i go up to bed so around 10, and Rio will have a bottle about 11 ish then some nights she'll go till 5- 6 am before she wakes for a feed so by this time the bottles are needing to be sterilised again, so shes screaming while i do them then i have to wait for them to cool down its a nightmare.
So what do u lot do?? ha

mine has a scream to not sure how to get around it :s

Hi Sophie,

Although they reccomend that you don't make bottes up and store them in the fridge, they do say you can sterilise your bottles, fill them with the boiled water and leave them at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Then just add the powdered milk as and when you need a bottle. Thats what I do.

this is from the Cow & Gate website

When you're making up bottle feeds, it's important to follow a few simple rules. It's recommended that you make up feeds as and when you need them to prevent the growth of bacteria. However, you can put pre-boiled water into sterilised bottles and the water can then be stored, at room temperature, for up to 24 hours. Always throw away any milk that's still left over after two hours. To make things easier for you during a busy day or when you're out and about, why not try one of our ready-made milks in tetrapacks?

I sterilise all the bottles and make them up in the evening so there always to have Lily.

Oh and occasionally I have made night time bottles up - as above but usually let water cool for 45 on own - add water - add milk - little stir of bottles - fridge. HV told me sometimes it can be more dangerous counting scoops with one eye open!

We've been buying the little cartons of milk im so lazy They are so much easier than makin them up, so i guess ill just have to stick with sceaming Rio whilst i wait for them to sterilise ha!

i know you might only use them a couple of times or for a couple of months but have you thought maybe buying two more bottles?

you're not lazy Sophie, I used those cartons for the first couple of weeks too, they are so much quicker.

I used to leave the water in the bottles and make them up as and when, but I spend so much time out of the house I now make up 4 bottles at a time and fridge them.
