Hi all,
I brought our precious bundle home on Thursday with an information sheet from the hospital on formula feeding. (I just had to get away from the midwives).
The sheet says you have to use water that's boiled within the last half hour. It says each bottle has to be made up fresh, no storing bottles in the fridge, no storing formula and each bottle has to be freshly sterilised.
We've been trying to stick to this but getting the water to cool while the baby is crying is a pain. Is this advice a bit over the top? I really don't want the baby to get sick but I don't want her crying for 10 minutes before each feed while I swill a bottle around in cold water.
