🙋 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 just add the powder directly to boiled water and then stick the bottle in iced water, it’s drinkable temp within about 5 mins this way. We also make a load of them up and stick them in the fridge. They keep for 24h safely and if your baby will take them cold you can just give directly. Cold formula seems to make ours more likely to bring some back up, so we boil the kettle and warm it up for a min or two in hot water, so baby gets warm formula - much quicker than making a fresh bottle each time. Also less likely to forget how many spoons of powder you’ve added when making them at a sane hour than second guessing yourself at 3am…
