Room temp bottles?

[lilmisspositive]

Thanks everyone! Wow you have all given me so much to think about. Mel, great tip chook. And raffy, love the idea for the before bed bottle. ; ) We will be in Vietnam and Bali for 6 weeks at the end of the year... and this was one thing I was always a bit worried about.

Plus I am now formula feeding from the get go, which is something I never did with dd. At least even knowing half way what I want I feel prepared. Thank you!! : )

Although I will give a little tip, we filled our bottles up in the morning and chucked them in the fridge - but only put the amount of cooled water that you needed to cool it to a perfect temp when boiling water was added - ITMS? So, when DD2 was on 200ml of formula, we would put 135mls of water in first, chuck it in the fridge, then when it was time for a feed, the water was cold, so we added 65ml of boiling water, which made the water the perfect temp for drinking - nice and warm. Then we added the formula, shook it up and there you go - a quick and easy way to prepare a bottle at the perfect temp without needing to heat it up in a jug of water beforehand

Mel, that's exactly what I do! Very easy peasy...

yep from the day we started formula, I boil the water fill the bottles and they sit on a shelf above the sink, I dont let the boiled water be any older the 24hrs though

My DD has only ever had room temp feeds. I figure that if it is all they have ever known then they won't complain (yep - am a very bad mother LOL!)

I love Mel's idea though - I will have to remember that one!
