Is This Ok? Step by Step?

[Rozie_1985]

When making up feeds would I be able to do the following?
Boil kettle, add water to bottle, add powder to powder seperater (Tommie Tippie) place seperater in bottle and place bottle in a cool place till needed ( such as a kitchen cupboard) once needed empty powder into bottle, shake and heat up bottle if needed and serve?
Just hoping this is ok, means I can make up feeds but am not mixing formular and water together until needed, surely this is the whole point of the powder dispensors?

Thanks

i have no idea about that hun but what i do know from experiance (charlie was FF from 4 months) is that when you put the formula in them little tt tubs and then in to boiling water it goes all sticky and hard really awkward to get out! its fine if the waters allready cooled but for some reason doesnt like the heat!

Thank Hun that's the first i have heard that, been looking around the board and it sounds like quite alot of people make up bottles and don't add powder till needed. Thanks for your advice x

oh maybe iv explained that wrong, putting the boiling water in and adding the powder later is fine.

is this what you mean?? because when i put boiling water in too the bottle then put the tub inside the powder inside the tub ended up sticky and hard (im guessing from the heat) if i put the tub in too cool boiled water it was fine x

You explained it exactly how I would have done it! Adding the powder pot to boiling water and leaving it on the side or in a cupboard till needed then empty the powder in the bottle later. I guess the heat just makes the powder go all funny, which is a pain as I wanted to avoid waiting for the water to cool before I made up his feeds!

you could always just not put the tub inside the bottle leave it next too it, thats what i used too do x

This is the way I used to make bottles from when Anna was born, but the water is really supposed to be a certain temperature (70 degrees?) when you add the powder so as to kill off any bacteria that may be present in the powder.

I now know roughly when Anna will be hungry so I sterilise the bottles as usual but then make up each bottle fresh when needed with boiled water and quick cool in a pot of cold water

Its the way I do it too and never had any problems. With my first baby, I'd make the whole day's feeds up and then keep them in the fridge as this was the recommendations back then, and I know that alot of people still do it that way but I found that heating up room temp boiled water then adding the powder was alot quicker than heating a bottle straight from the fridge
