Is this ok?

I make up bottles in the morning and store them in the fridge I then heat them up in bottle warmer when LO needs them..

Before I go to bed I do the same for the night feeds...

Is this ok?

The recommendations nowadays say that you should make up the bottles as you go along, but alot of us dont as it's just not feasable with a screaming hungry baby!
There's a couple of ways to make the bottles up in advance.
Alot of the girls on here make up the bottles the way you do it. As long as the bottles aren't being stored in the door of the fridge (temperature changes as the door opens and closes) then it's all good. It's how I used to do it with my first daughter, but found I prefer to do it the way I do now.

I make up the bottles for the day with just boiled water, and then leave them on the worktop (out of direct sunlight etc and for no more than 24 hours) and just heat up the bottle and add the powder (which we measure out into powder dispensers - Mothercare, Tesco and Amazon sell them quite cheaply) when needed. Works well for us as it doesnt take as long to heat up a room temperature bottle compared to a fridge temperature one - Evie wont take room temp bottles!

that's how we did Hannah's bottles.

thats how i always did mine, i just made up however many and cooled them down quickly in a pot of cold running water in the sink - into the fridge within a few minutes never used a bottle warmer though always just used a jug and boiled the kettle
at night i took a bottle and carton upstairs - and now i am only using cartons x

I fill bottles with boiled water, cool in a jug & whack in fridge. Then add powder to each cold bottle as needed & feed, Jax on sma staydown so slightly diff to normal . Slightly warm it in microwave so its not mega chilled like from fridge but need to give this milk cool as poss x

I do the same as you hun - do you quick cool the bottles before adding to fridge (in cold water, under a tap or similar)? By doing this you are stopping any bacteria being able to multipy in warm milk

I always add powder to water above 70degrees as this then kills any bacteria in the powder

i make as i go but tbh the only reason we do this is because mya has had thrush in her mouth since she was born and it still hasnt gone now and she is nearly 6 weeks old. shes had two lots of drops and nothing seems to make it 100% better so have to do everything as sterile and fresh as possible.

but if it wasnt for that i would prob be doing the same as you hun but just adding the powder as i need the bottles.

i make 3 bottles at a time (steriliser fits 4, use one for water) fill with boiled water and leave on the side then add powder at feeding time. Harriet seems to like room temp milk so works great for me!
