When do routines and bad habits start?

I've been using a metal flask for the past few nights. I half fill the bottles with boiling water and also fill the flask. By the time I need to feed, the water in the bottles has cooled and then I just top it up with the warm water from the flask. Seems to be working okay.

Oh yes, and the nappies - I've found someone who is interested in buying the set so I'm letting them go. My hubby has never even used one because he hasn't got the energy to try so he's convinced me that buying disposables is just easier.

Anyhoo! Thanks for all the support and info.

I filled up my bottles with piping hot water just before I went to bed, I kept them next to the bed. By the time I needed to use them the temp was just right to add the formula powder to. I also had a winter baby and a tiled house so I know how you feel.

thanks juanita

im willing to try anything at the moment.

tonight however, im going to try having everything ready on my bedside table, because i hate running through the cold house to go back a bottle. our entire house is tiled and its like the north pole when i open the bedroom door - it makes me want to cry!

Eve, sounds like you got a whole lot of ideas how to make your bottles, but here is another one, I boil the kettle and then leave it, when it comes time to make a bottle i put the kettle on again and only let it start heating up (know by now how long untill its the right temp) and then pour it into the bottle at the perfect temp for lg to drink.

Julz, I take water that has already been boiled and cooled off and warm it up in the microwave till I get the preferred temp. I then just pour it into the flask and it lasts for a cople of hours. This works like a bomb for those 02:00 feeds!

thanks julz

nelria told me about flask and mixing 2 temps so im going to try that

Eve I just popped milk in boiling water rather or my friend calculated how much flask water should be added to cold water to get the correct temp.

Mind adding the forumula to hot water. That is what causes constipation!!!!
