Can I mix up formula in a bottle and put it in the fridge?

Question

My baby hates warm formula as I never use to warm the water but then I read it’s important to boil the water to kill bacteria. 
Is it OK if I boil the water, mix the formula and then put it in the fridge? And how long is it good in the fridge?

Answer

I used to boil the water and then portion it into bottles and put it into the fridge. Then when baby wanted it I would just add the formula.

Answer

Yea they’re good for a day

Answer

Buy the Dr Browns Formula Mixing Pitcher. It’s awesome! I was able to make 32oz of formula. It stays good for 24 hours. 😌

Answer

Formula once mixed usually is only good for 1 hour. So don't pre-mix your formula. Pre-fill bottles with water and put in fridge, sure - ans mix in the formula at time of use. Most formulas will tell you how long a bottle is good for after mixed. So don't stray from those recommendations.

Answer

We used bottled water for our baby never tap water

Answer

You can either go ahead and boil the water and put just the water in a pitcher and make the bottles as you go, or the Dr brown brand has a formula pitcher. Just any formula put in the refrigerator has to be used within 24 hours.

Answer

I know that there's such thing as formula pitchers so you can make a batch once a day or whatever, but I don't know much more than that. I wouldn't think it'd be good for more than a day though
