Making bottles in advance for night feeds?

Question

If I made the bottles like usual with hot water, kept them in the fridge, and then put them in the bottle warmer when I needed them in the night would this be okay?

Answer

My first was formula fed. And how I used to donnish the feedings is. I was have all the water measured out in keep them up stairs with me. And had all the formula measured out in a to go container and then would just mix as needed. No need to warm them because they are room temp.

Answer

If making bottles is too time consuming, try this - the best money I ever spent and warms the bottles to the perfect temp!

Answer

Formula is only good for so long after it's made. You may want to resurch that before you do it.

Answer

I make up all my feeds for the day and night and keep them in the fridge and warm them as I need them. I don't see the point in making fresh bottles everytime he has a feed, takes to long. All my bottles get washed and sterilised and made up with hot water (4oz in each bottle has he takes between 3/4oz each time) left to cool slightly and kept in the fridge until I need one. My little monster is 17 days old and seems absolutely fine with this method.

Answer

Yes that should be fine as long as they're refrigerated. It's good 24 hrs usually after it's made if it's kept cold. Once baby starts a feeding it's only good for an hour. I tried this with my eldest but did a huge daily batch in a pitcher and left it in the fridge. Turned out to be more hassle than just making them one by one. But yes it's fine.

Answer

Just found this if it helps, my midwife said its fine to keep in the fridge as long as you use within that day (24 hours)

Answer

I was told by my health visitor not to keep formula bottles more them 3 hours weather in the fridge or not
