Bottle Feeding Routine | How to Prepare POWDERED FORMULA 

Please guide how long baby will consume after making like how many minutes or hours will remain and when it discard

Not easy make all Tham bottle at night time

Glad it was helpful!

Hi so glad my video has helped. My lil one is almost 10 months now so i try to pre-make 5-6 bottles a day because she's on solid foods too. Aptamil has been the best milk for us honestly. I'm really careful about what my lil one eats because she has eczema. But be sure to let your fresh bottles cool down a bit before popping them in the fridge, then take it out when needed and heat using the bottle warmer before feeding. If you need any other advice just let me know and congratulations Mama! xxx

Hiya Iv just had a baby nearly two weeks ago. I was using cow and gate pre made bottles for about the first week. I now during the day make bottles up as I go and for night time I make about three bottles. I let them cool down and put them in the back of the fridge and then take one out of the fridge when baby wakes up and put it in the bottle warmer.

@@Lyricvids72 hi congratulations:) yes this is exactly what I did but sometimes just waiting for the milk to heat up takes some time 🥴 it’s all about saving time but also making sure babies milk is made safely. I just make them on the go now that my little one turned 7/8 months and now that she’s 1 she’s drinking less formula and eating more solids than before.

Naturallydre thank you. I spoke to a midwife and she said it wasn’t safe to make the formula and store in the fridge. But when working in a child care setting that’s how bottles were handled so I don’t know why it has changed

Got new bottle for my baby today and haven't used yet auntuam and winter month s

You’re welcome 😊

My pleasure

2 hours room temperature ❤

Hi they recommended that you discard of milk after and two hours I think (not 100% sure) but I found it to be easier to make at least 2-3 bottles at a time especially in the earlier stages. I made sure to let the milk cool right down then place in the fridge as the fridge helps to preserve. And generally you find that a new born tends to drink every two hours so it worked perfect for me. I would take the bottle out the fridge and place in the bottle warmer that came as a set. I think as long as you wash and keep bottles sterile and clean your hands before touching bottles, it helps to keep it all clean and avoid any bad bacteria from forming. I hope this helps!

​@@naturallydrethanks for your advice..that's annoying to make all that stuff every 2h. Ready bottles for a half day sounds good

Hi, I would always let it cool down then refrigerate them immediately. I’m not sure what they advise parents now but I tried to at least do 2 -3 at a time because it became a bit tedious making them every two or so hours 😅

@@naturallydre superb thanks

Hi I wasn’t using the warmer at first. I literally was boiling hot water in a kettle and placing the water in a plastic jug, then put the baby bottle in that. I think because I was so tired I literally forgot I had a warmer. Good luck with everything xx

I believe so. I learned to mix with a clean spoon in the bottle which helped to mix everything well without causing bubbles

Hi I would recommend following instructions if you are not sure of anything.

Please see a nurse

Hi Hun. Best thing to try is Organic Prunes in a fruit pouch for 4months and older baby. It worked so well for my lil one when she got constipated.....You can also add extra water to baby milk but be mindful of how much extra water you are adding to the formula. For babies under 6 months it is recommended to just give breastmilk/formula. When they get to 6 months you can add small amounts of water in addition to milk etc if needed. Hope this helps x

Please see a nurse about this

Hi I also found Aptamil to be costly so I changed to Kendamil. The first milk is £10 here in the U.K. but it is 900g which I found to give me a bit more for my money. You will start to see that baby milk is most expensive during the first stages and when you get to stage 3 milk the price reduces, also your baby can start to drink normal carton milk if you’re happy to do so x

High the only thing with high temp is that it kills the nutrients in the milk so you would need to boil fresh water and leave to cool for 30 minutes before mixing with the milk. I find that it mixes okay but maybe let the hot water cool for 20-25 minutes then mix the powder. hopefully that helps x

​@@naturallydre ❤

Hi I normally used the milk throughout the day, never next day. So I only made around 3-4 bottles at a time just to make it as fresh as possible especially in the first few months because My little one wanted milk like every two hours 😅 couldn’t hack making bottle every two hours on the go 😅

I think it’s 12 hours if in the fridge and 2 hours at room temperature.

Hi, the bubbles didn’t erk me as much but you can try - Shaking the powder first with a small amount of hot water, then add the remaining amount of hot water -Or using a spoon (clean spoon) in the bottle made a big difference. So add a small amount of hot water with powder mix well, then add the remaining amount. Hope this helps xx

You’re welcome 😊

That’s how you supposed to do it

Hi sorry for the late reply. Its been so long since i made a bottle but please check the instructions on your milk pack x

Hmm I’m not really sure to be honest. This video was done years ago 😅 I’m not sure if things have changed now

Hi i literally followed the box instructions. This was a while back now so I’m not sure if formulas have since changed x

Hi aptamil can be taken from birth you just have to get the right stage formula. Aptamil is like your no nonsense formula and provides your baby with the very best components especially if you aren’t able to breastfeed or baby doesn’t take to breastfeeding. I now use similac ever since my baby Turned 10 months and go between the two. Similac is equally a very good brand And tends to help fill my daughter up for her night feed before bed. Hope this helps :)

@@naturallydre thanks

My baby is constipating with aptamil.. 😭4months only

@@naturallydre How about if baby is few days after birth, is it ok to use this?

​@@poojapooja7985mines too

The best thing to do is follow the instructions on your baby food container. I know its confusing but they advise how many scoops and how much water to add for the age group

No u right 2 ounces water 1 scoop 4 ones water two scoops six ounces water three scoops

You need to see what the instructions on your formula say, mine is definitely equal number of scoops to ounces of water. Maybe it’s different in different counties or something x

I’m sorry I’m getting to your question so late. I’m not sure if things have changed now but I assume you’ve probably got a handle of things now. ❤

Hi i think all babies are different. My child was growing at the normal rate, not too big or below the average for her age & height when she was weighed in at checkups. I would say babies who drink more breast milk do tend to have a bit more baby fat, but then again all babies are different.

In all honesty I don’t think there is any, just make sure it has exactly what your baby needs for healthy growth x

You're welcome

Yes I used to do this but the water eventually cools a bit. I actually boil water and leave it for 30 mins then premake milk and store in the fridge or make fresh bottles if I need to.

Naturallydre can you do that so I make the formula wait for it to cool put in fridge then re heat?

@@shazzy3141 Hi yes perfectly fine depending on the formula you use. please read the formula instructions first because some will say to discard excess milk right after feed and some you can make and store in the fridge after letting it cool down. i found that it was the easiest way in the beginning with my child. i've also heard of some making formula with cold water and when ready to feed they heat it up using a bottle warmer. i'm not sure how good this is but i guess it could be okay as long as the heat is perfect enough to kill any bacteria in the milk. www.johnlewis.com/tommee-tippee-easi-warm-electric-bottle-and-food-warmer/p4097096?sku=238012747&s_ppc=2dx92700055427952390&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclid=Cj0KCQjwl4v4BRDaARIsAFjATPnv0J1wah_X4rRwPO0fczvbMF_ULX4IsuGRwGPAIaSzGguNdF1PDIQaAnvLEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Glad it was helpful!

No problem 😌

its best to add the water first but if you can measure out your water i guess you can do it that way around

hi do you mean if you can keep the milk for 5 days?

Hi I think it’s 6 scoops for 180, but your pack will confirm how many scoops vs water

you’re welcome x

Hi do you mean Nutramigen?

thanks :)

hi you need to check your milk container which will advise

It’s not something I typically have a habit of doing! But thanks for you’re concern 😭😭😭

Thanks

hello yes use hot water first and you can cool It down in a bowl of cold water

hi yes please use hot boiled water when mixing formula. You can then cool it down by placing bottle in a bowl of cold water x

@@naturallydre Hi, How long does it usually take to cool the bottle in a bowl of cold water so its a drinkable temp? 5 mins? 10 mins? Thanks
