Thanks Wendino!

But it won't make a difference that I don't leave it to cool half an hour and I just fill all 6 bottles up with water straight from the boiled kettle will it?

i've always done it just the way you've described honey and it's been wonderful

i add the formula when needed to a cold bottle and heat. i have to agree with bexy, it's great the hv saying make up a new one every time with the kettle etc, but i found this impossible if i'm honest x

Everyone does it differently, it is whatever suits your lifestyle. I make my bottles in advance and store in my fridge ready to go. When I need my milk I take it out the fridge and warm it up. If I am going out I make up my bottles and keep them warm in a TT insulated carrier. Works for us and my LO has never had any problems like tummy ache or anything.

I guess you find what works for you. Good luck...

Nope, not at all!

Just should be cooled a bit before you add the powder. So sounds good to me!

This page gives a pretty detailed explanation of the safest way to prepare a feed.

Wow! It seems you ladies have to go through a lot to clean and make bottles. I wash bottles in hot soapy water and leave them to dry on a bottle rack and then when Bryson is hungry, I use room temperature purified bottled water in the bottles and add the formula and give it to him. I have never had a problem and he is just fine. Different customs I guess.
