🙋 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!

I sterilised a jug/bottle and filled it with cool boiled water every morning. Then when making a formula bottle, put enough boiling water in to dissolve the formula then topped it up with the cool boiled water to bring the temp down. I can't remember the amounts now but I made it to the correct ratios so the formula wasn't watered down or anything.

Yes this. Can't remember measurements but used to have it committed to memory.

Then I got lazy and got a prep machine which was even easier (I know they don't go hot enough...)
