Formula - mix or send prepared?

After 6months wash with soap and water, no need to sterilize.

Formula is only good a short period after being mixed. So it is best to mix as you serve. Just use the acoop for powder and use room temp water.

When I did bottles here I had the family leave me a big jug (with a push button spout) of distilled water. It was room temp and just a matter of pushing the button to fill the bottle then dumping the scoops of powder and shaking in the bottle.

Tap water is fine if space is an issue. It will be short term ad babe moves to solids.

I don't think I sterilized bottles for my little ones after 6 months, but I asked the dad and he said he still sterilizes everything (so I feel like I should be too if that's their preference, even though it seems a little pointless).

The jug of water is a great idea, however right now I'm just looking after him casually/infrequently so I probably wouldn't bother.

Thank you for the reply! Much appreciated
