FF in night how do you do yours?

[AimeeM]

What exactly do you find is the best way for feeding you LO in the night?

Waiting for the kettle to boil and cool etc is a no go as would take far too long.

At the mo i am heating a feed from the fridge in a bottle warmer.

Just interested to know how everyone else does it!

Thanks

I put boiled water into a flask before I go to bed and make the feed when my son wakes up.

I warm a feed from the fridge too

Mika takes his bottles cold or room temp, he doesn't like warm bottles. It's a lifesaver at night! But if LO is used to taking warm bottles that probably won't work for you, lol.

We heat a cold bottle from the fridge by using a Tommee Tippee bottle warmer but sometimes that 4 minutes seems like a lifetime!
One of our family did suggest filling the sterlised bottle with less water and putting in the fridge, then boiling the kettle at night and topping up with boiling water.
I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had time to work out what mls I would need of cold and boiling to get the right temperature.

I was sticking it in the micro, then feeding, however that involved moving out of bed teehee.

Now I just make up a bottle of boiling water, and keep it in a thermos case that I got with my changing bag, usually by the time wee man wants it, its gone pretty much lukewarm. Powder in a dispenser - hey presto - warm fresh feed, no meither

Course, if he wakes too early.. or too late.. that plan doesnt work at all lolol

I put the boiled water in the bottle and take it upstairs, when he wakes i scopp in th epwder and feed him.When he was tiny i heated ones up from the fridge, but i don't worry so much now!

I use a Lindam Night & Day Feeding System - very handy! I have it on my bedside table

 

[annawrigley]

i bring 3 bottles up with me with the boiled water already in them, and 3 lots of powder in a powder dispenser (£3.99 from boots if you dont have one, and really good for out and about ignore me if you already have one haha)
noah has his bottles room temperature so it takes about 10 seconds to make up a bottle and dont have to move! xx

When Zach was younger i used to take his flask up of boiling water and a couple of bottles, have say 3oz of water in the bottles and top up with 2oz of boiling water and add the powder! Now he has one in the night i just use the microwave to heat the water!

I use the ready made stuff at night as we're down to just one night feed now, so I just pour a carton into a sterilised bottle and heat in a bottle warmer. Is starting to get expensive though so think I'll do the flask with boiling water and powder dispenser thing when he's a bit older. X

In the first few weeks she was born I would heat water from the fridge then add the milk. Then I moved on to boiled water from the kettle into bottle and a bottle warmer then by the time she woke it was the right temp to add the milk and give her. Then I got a bottle warmer for the bedroom and just took in a bottle and her milk (I got one of them containers that have 3 parts in them to put the powder in to take in your changing bag).
But even now with her sleeping 12hours I still give her first feed in the bedroom and take a bottle and her milk to bed with me at night time.

You lucky thing lol, my first son loved his straight out of the fridge. So easy!

My mum suggested this too. I might experiment with water and a thermometer...

 

[littleblonde]

kacey takes 6oz. so i use 6 scopes and 3oz of water (boiled) and fridge it. then in night i boil kettle and add 3oz and bottle is at perfect temp.

 

[AimeeM]

Thanks littleblonde that is really helpful. I see our little ones were born on same day and almost at the same time! Nathan was born at 10.57am xx

We dont do night feeds anymore. But when we did, we used to use a water flask & powder despenser. We kept 2 bottles, flask & despenser in our room.

 

[bump_wanted]

i use a fisher price flask with water boiled from the kettle and cooled to the temp he likes and our little powder dispencer its great i make up a wee box with his bottles flask powder nappys and an extra babygro and whatever happens i dont need to get out of bed LOL i love that! tho im lucky that Ollie will drink either warmed or room temp milk xx

I do this too, it is nice and quick and means the formula is not sitting any length of time.

When he was diddy i didnt want to use the microwave because i read that it breaks down the proteins in the milk. We filled his bottle with boiling water and put it in a one of those thermos type bottle holder things and took up dispensers with milk powder in. He'd wake up we would switch on the bottle warmer, change his nappy whilst it heated up and then make his bottle up
