I make up a few bottles and put them in the fridge, then warm them up when needed using the Tommee Tippee bottle warmer, and when she’s used the last one I sterilise them and make them up again. I still wait up to 30 mins for the kettle to cool before making them though, as if the water is too hot it can kill the nutrients in the milk too.

Thank you for clearing up for me that u can pre make bottles, store them in the fridge and then heat them up. I was so sure this was normal and my cousin made out that it was crazy

I’m a first time mum to be (29 weeks) and this video was a lifesaver. Thank you 😊

OMG I never really appreciate how much easier to breast feed. I always thought bottles and formula is much easier and was a little bit jealous looking at mums who chose formula to breast milk. I did breastfeed all my 3 babies up to 1 year. Our first one had 55 flights by the 1,5 year age. I can not imagine all that travel with bottle feeding. Thats just something I would never manage. Good video with very handy tips. Although I plan to breastfeed my 4th one, still good to know about bottles, just in case. Thank you!

2:23 doesnt the boil water reduce the nutritional benefits in the formula? This was mentioned earlier in the video… got me confused 🤔

Thank you for this video! I’m expecting my first and wanted to know how people formula feed. This was very informative and not overwhelming! Take care x

Wow we was told boiling water kills the vitimins etc in the formula, what we have been doing is boiling the kettle waiting 25 mins making two bottles one for the feed and one for the fridge for his following feed, then repeating, as don't like leaving bottles in fridge for more than 4 hours,

It’s up to 30 minutes, you don’t actually have to wait 30 minutes to make it. Also a lot of your advice is not what the midwives or HV recommend recently. I asked about making feeds up like the prep machine would but apparently you need enough hot water proportionate to sterilise the formula, otherwise you can make babies sick. As for storing in the fridge, the constant opening & closing of the door will create a change in temperature that causes bacteria to grow in the ready made bottle you’re storing. They’d be ideal ways to make life easier but the safest way is to make it straight from the kettle and run it under cold water or stick it in a jug of cold water. You are allowed to boil a kettle & take a flask to bed with you though to make feeds up in the bedroom because it’ll keep hot water at a hot enough temperature, as long as it’s a decent flask & you only use it for the baby. I love your other videos a lot but please keep your advice updated because it can be super confusing to FTMs otherwise

Thank you so much for this. So, so helpful!

Thank you so much for making this video as it’s made me feel more at ease! Xxx

Great video thanks for taking the time to help other newbie patrents. xx

Oh my goodness this was so helpful, I have been a sucker boiling the kettle and waiting 30 mins each time, thinking there must be a better way!

Thank you so much for this video! It’s really helped to make life just that little bit more manageable right now! Quick question though. If I’ve made bulk and popped them in the fridge, after warning up, how long do I have to use the warmed bottle?

When prepping the bottles for the fridge how long do you leave the bottles to cool before putting them in the fridge? Also do you put them in cool water to cool down or leave them on their own to cool Thanks

Great video and straight to the point thank you

What’s the name of the bottle brand…

So helpful thank you ❤️

If you’re prepping a days worth of bottles you can put powder into the bottles first and then use one to measure out the water. Saves forgetting how many scoops you’ve put into a full bottle 🤦🏼‍♀️

This was really helpful, I'm just wondering if you're using the thermos method how come the cooled boiled water needs to be stored in the fridge?

I am 18 and for me how to make DIY formula bottles I just take the formula bottle take water put it in the baby formula then shake it and then it take a baby cab from a baby bottle and put it on the formula bottle and give it to my one year-old I just have to find the right size

I heard you can’t put in fridge no more??

Brilliant video thank you x

The most helpful video ever! Question if you take a bottle of milk out the fridge and heat with boiling hot water in jug, how long should you leave it in jug for roughly? Xx

This is so helpful!! I'm expecting my first baby in few weeks time so this video was very informative to watch. Thank you for uploading and sharing your experience. X There is one thing I'm abit confused about. Recently I went to "mamas and papas" to buy the tommee tippee prep mashine as I heard really good reviews about it!! but the lady that was working there told me the flask is much better than the mashine for night feeds, travelling etc. I thought flask was more convenient travelling? I didn't end up buying the prep mashine as I thought I would give it some time and ask more people for some advice like yourself if it's worth buying it or keeping just the flask. What would you recommend for a first time mum to be with no experience with babies lol. X

Hi, So glad to find you video as it’s really overwhelming when starting using formula. Can I ask how quickly I have to use the bottle when formula is made ,’? In 2 hours ??

Thank you for this video it really has helped me to understand on how to make these bottles I got one question if I would get the prep machine straight away I have noticed it’s 4oz the smallest amount you can make but then I’ve looked online that first the baby should have from 1 to 2 oz how would you recommend on doing this maybe start the kettle first then when they want the 4oz do the prep machine ? So confused lol

If you make the bottles up and keep them in the fridge are mam bottles safe to put into hot water to warm up?

Confusing about pre-making the bottles, so is ok to make it for a full day or night, but not ok for longer then 2 hours if you out?

Hi Lottie! Thank you for this. We did have a prep machine (little girly is 10 days old) but we found it was making her really windy and unwell so we've been using your alternative method! I just wanted to ask though, is it safe to keep the bottles in the fridge for 24 hours? I'd never even considered this but it would be so much easier! Xxx

Don’t be ashamed I’m a 3rd time parent & totally forgot how to 😬😅

I've just watched another video from USA, they used tap water & bottled water, ur video is the best to follow, I will be using the flask method for hot & cold water both boiled, & adding a little hot water in formula to kill germs in powder x

Or you can just give your child room temperature formula from birth 🤷‍♀️ there's no benefit in warming formula. Baby doesn't care and it saves tons of time/money/energy.
