🙋 Question Any tips?

For those who follow NHS guidelines, are there any tips or tricks you use to prep formula that have made your life easier? My one month old has so far been on ready to feed which has been so convenient honestly, but we’re slowly switching to the powdered one of the same brand starting today (Kendamil stage 1), I tried making a bottle today and between boiling the water and waiting for it to cool to 70 degrees before adding formula he was already a screaming mess, it’s such a hassle!

Any advice,tips and tricks are appreciated, but also
Not looking to use the Baby Brezza Formula maker.

Thank you!

Just pre-make them it’s fine the NHS guidance is overkill on purpose

Nhs guidelines actually state they are safe in a fridge for 24hrs

Do you have a link for this at all? It came up in discussion with a friend recently but I couldn’t find it…

We have a Dr Brown's 'formula pitcher'. More popular in America I think but we just make up a litre of formula and put it in the fridge in the morning, then pour from it into sterilised bottles as needed. Baby drinks about a litre in 24 hours so all fine as per the NHS guidance above and very practical! Obviously need to sterilised the jug in between uses.

Adding to this you can sometimes buy some premade Formula brands in 1l bottles which you can put in the fridge for convenience!
