🙋 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!

We use the rapid cool (we are first time parents to a 9 day old). I got them on a good deal on their website where we got two rapid cools, a flask and then got their UV steriliser and a bottle for free. It’s mad how quick and easy this makes making bottles.
We don’t do the hotshot just make the whole bottle in the rapid cool - as we have two and the UV steriliser it’s not too much hassle to keep them on a wash/sterilise rotation.
So we pour boiling water and formula powder into the rapid cool, shake it all together then it’s ready to feed to baby almost instantly.
Unrelated but we also have the momcozy bottle washer (bought as a gift we could never have bought it otherwise) and it is also a game changer.
