    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!
