Tips for formula feeding?

Question

The internet has a lot of different ideas in regards to formula feeding so I thought I'd ask real moms what tips and tricks they have. Best way to have bottle ready water?  Better warm or room temperature? Preferred bottles? Please let me know! Any and all info is appreciated! ☺️

Answer

Room temp is easier than heating a bottle with a screaming baby.. just sit out your bottles for the day pre filled with water.. add formula as needed.. 
As far as bottles it all depends on baby.. gotta find what he likes.. but tommee tippie.. Dr browns.. advent are all good..
Good luck

Answer

Hi we used Dr.  BROWNS after trying a few others and we liked them the best.  I use ready to feed formula for the first month to make my life easier then switch to powdered formula enfamil gentlease.   We did warm bottles for our first baby but it was such a pain so this time going to try for room temperature.  I always boiled my water first last time and let cool before mixing then would fill enough bottles for the day.  This time we bought a formula machine kind of like a keurug for formula and it makes bottles for you at perfect temp.

Answer

I just always have gallons of filtered water available at room temperature.  
My babies never seems to care that it wasn't warmed up. 
I never pre made my formula. It's too dang expensive to possibly waste! :)

Answer

Room temperature is better in my opinion. You don't have to worry about heating up bottles in the middle of the night or when you are out somewhere. It literally makes life so much easier! Just measure/mix and feed!
With bottles I would suggest getting a few different types and just seeing what you like best and what your baby likes. I always wanted the simpler bottles, never had an issue with reflux or colic, so we ended up using the playtex drop ins. Dr Browns always seemed like a pain in the ass to wash all the parts and stuff, but I've heard great things about them for babies who do suffer with reflux and colic. The new latch bottles at target are good too.
