How do you prepare a formula bottle ?

Question

I’m still breastfeeding but I don’t think I’ll last much longer what’s the quickest and easiest way to make up a warm bottle ?

Answer

The quickest and easiest is a formula maker like a baby breeza but they’re expensive. Otherwise the quickest would be to make the bottle and put it in a cup of hot water for a few minutes unless you can get the baby to take a room temp bottle

Answer

My little guy drinks his at room temperature.
It's simple I have 4oz bottle with water already set up then I just add in the two scoops of formula ,shake and we r good to go..I let the bubble settle from shaking it just bit less gas for my little guy.

Answer

Did you guys know that all water used to make formula should be sterilized before mixing with the powder? It needs to come to a rolling boil (bubbling) for at least 2 minutes. Then cooled down to be used with the powder.

Answer

We bought the Baby Brezza mixer- not the big fancy one, just the actually mixer pitcher-  $20 off Amazon. I make enough for all of her feedings and then we pour into a bottle and plop the bottle into a cup of hot water for a few minutes. Easy breezy

Answer

I use bottled water at room temp. I mix 4 oz of water with two scoops of formula powder then let the bottle sit in a hot cup/bowl of tap water for a few mins but if she’s fussy or we are out I just give her the bottle without sitting it in warm water. She drinks it either way. She is 4 weeks and 3 days and drinks approximately 3-4 oz every 2-3 hours.

Answer

I don’t warm the bottle before giving to my son. Sometimes in a pinch I use cold water from the dispenser and he doesn’t seem to mind. I read that if they’ll take it, it won’t do any harm

Answer

tbh i always heat my water in the microwave, usually 4 oz for 20 sec and then transfer to the bottle i’m using for his feed and mix in the directed amount of formula. It’s usually always lukewarm temp but you must check it every time on your wrist before you give it to your baby to make sure it’s not too warm.

Answer

If you do switch over....this thing is awesome.  I mix formula for the day and pour whatever amount I want.  You can heat up bottle in a warmer or hot water but I honestly use a microwave.  I swirl bottle after heating to avoid hot spots....also, I don’t heat it too warm anyways.  When I go out, I use a formula dispenser thing and bring warm water in a thermos.
