Bottles and Formula

[Momof4]

I've done this two different ways, one Mom sent the bottles all mixed and I had them in my fridge then warmed them in a pan of hot water which I found kind of scary in case there were any hot spots in the milk. I shook them well though, make sure you do that if you use this method. I do not microwave baby formula.

The best method was the Mom who sent measured water only in the bottle and gave me a big can of the powdered formula. Then all I had to do was measure the scoops into the bottles and the baby drank the bottles at room temp.


*I forgot to say that I have enough dishes after feeding 5 children all day and there's no way I would wash their bottles. I sent them all home to be washed. Also, if they are switching to cow's milk can't they switch to sippy cups? I always have children on sippy cups by a year of age, but it depends on the type that works best for the child.

I dont do bottles. As far as Im concerned, a 13 month old shouldnt be using one. Neither of my children ever had one and none of my DCK do either. At this stage, I deem them unncessary.

I agree with this. My son was off them before 1 year. Just the way some people do things. she also asked that I send him to bed with the bottles for his naps. Nope. wont do that, sorry!!
