Abtaclub says the same thing as you That you can prepare the bottles and store them in fridge for 24hrs And once you warm them in warm water to room temperature or perfect enough test on your wrist you have to use within 2 hours. Thank you for your video 🙏
Yeah, I’ve always known it to be safe. Maybe there are some new guidelines out that say it’s not recommended anymore 🤷🏻♀️ . I know a lot of people microwave the bottles to heat them up which is something I don’t feel comfortable, that’s not recommended either but they still do it and you’ll find a lot of these people who say you shouldn’t pre-make bottles will microwave a bottle if they ever have to. Honestly, I think just do what works for you. There are so many do’s and don’ts with parenting, I don’t think there is a right and wrong. As long as our children grow up happy and healthy. Thank you though, makes me feel better about having done it this way cuz I was getting some backlash for it.
Thank you very much!! We’ve never had any issues with this method and is mentioned as a form of storage on the nhs website but I guess everyone is different on what they are comfortable with.
The formula milk contains the good bacteria which helps in the baby’s gut so not a good idea to kill them. Secondly they also contain proteins which can break when heated. It’s always safer to follow instructions on the box. Please pay attention to the ingredients and the temperature they require.
If you watch my video I make sure to say to wait 30mins after the kettle has boiled to allow the water to get to 70C which is what they recommend. This is warm enough to kill the bad bacteria only. The nutrients in the formula are still retained if refrigerated. It does state on the NHS website that "stored formula should be consumed within 24hrs" which I have always stood by.
Is it safe that we can make the bottles ready for 24 hours? bz it is written on the box that donot store the made up feeds n use that within 2 hours otherwise discard.
As mentioned in the video, if you keep it out, it is only safe for 2 hours but formula can be kept up to 24hours as long as it is refrigerated. Read the part that says "Use Quickly, Store Safely" www.cdc.gov/nutrition/infantandtoddlernutrition/formula-feeding/infant-formula-preparation-and-storage.html
I know colleagues who do this personally i use the tommee tippee prep machine throughout day and night u prefer a fresh feed im a bit suspicious about bottles being in fridge too long but thats just me!
Haha You just got to do what you’re comfortable with. I feel funny about using the prep machine day and night 😂. I always worry about the pipes being clean on them, that’s why they’re so controversial. So yeah, I stick to just using it at night so I’m not using it as often and causing a buildup. I clean/sterilise it properly every month and descale it every 4 months (before the light comes on). So far it’s been fine but yeah, still worry about using it in the day as well 😬. I see people microwaving their bottles, making milk with room temperature water (below 70C), using bottled water, not sterilising the bottles! All sorts, things I wouldn’t dream of doing but they’ll always say their babies are fine too. I’m sure in a lot of other countries around the world, their hygiene around feeding baby is not the same and most babies are fine. We’re just extra cautious which isn’t a bad thing.
Hi , I have the same kettle and below it I see stains or you could say paint steel chipping at bottom ? Will baby get chemica? Also it stood boiling once it starts to boil
Hi, you have to descale the kettles regularly to get rid of the limescale build up. It happens to every kettle due to the hard water but it's more noticeable in clear kettles because you can see into them. Sorry, I didn't get the last part. Leave the kettle to stand for 30mins after it has finished boiling.
Hii Ruks, hope everyone is ok. I wanted to know from you about life in the uk test, do you have any idea to do a video about it, because i'm preparing myself for the test 😰
Hi, my husband hasn't taken it yet but he will start practicing for it soon as his ILR application is next year. I don't really know what I can say about it in a video but it's quite like the driving theory test. Multiple choice questions.
Hi, thank you that was a very useful video for me (a first time mum to be). Where did you purchase the Anti colic bottles from and did you buy as a set with the steriliser or individually? I have seen them as a complete set with an electric steriliser and individually too so wanted to know which is worth getting. Would you recommend them? I have seen mixed reviews about them. Thank you x
Hi, I am so glad you've found the video helpful. I purchased the anti-colic bottles from he Tommee Tippee website. I got a pack of 4 (2 big, 2 small) for £20. I didn't buy the set with the anti-colic bottles because I was gifted the set with the normal bottles. That came with the electric steriliser, bottle warmer, insulated bottle bags etc. Personally, I've not really used any of it because my baby has bottles at room temperature and the bottle warmer takes longer to warm the bottle up then hot water in a jug. I've used the steriliser a few times though, it's good, I like it. It's great for hotel stays where you don't have access to a microwave, but needs descaling very often which puts me off using it as much at home. I tend to use a microwaveable steriliser at home. I love the anti-colic bottles, they really helped us with Diyan's gas. We didn't get any issues with leaking (you just have to make sure to put it all back together properly and screw it on tight). I will be using them again for baby #2 hopefully. I've heard good things about the MAM bottles but I don't like that they give you 8 bottles with only 4 teats 😕.
Also, you can always take the microwaveable steriliser for any stays in a hotel and use it for cold water sterilisation (milton) instead so personally I don’t think the kit is worth it. Just buy the bottles and a microwave or steriliser. Hope that helps!
I don't know if you've had your baby yet. If you did congratulations. I personally prefer the mams bottles, I feel it's very good for babies with colic. No steriliser is needed. It can be sterilised in the microwave for a couple of mins. And it's done. No faffing around, no huge amount of washing. Plus, the striliser takes up quite a bit of space. Quite pernickety, I feel. Having said that, not everyone finds the same thing convenient. Hopefully, you get to find the perfect ones for you.
They’re called Milk Storage Lids. I just call them bottle caps lol. Maybe to a Google search, click on shopping and see what sites come up. Always research the sites before you purchase if you’ve not heard of them before
I prefer not to use the machine all day and night due to increasing the build up of limescale faster so I prefer to use this method during the day. The other way you can do it is to keep some cooled boiled water in the fridge. Make your bottle with half boiling water and then once the powder is mixed, add half of the cooled water in the fridge to make it the perfect temperature to feed straight away
Yes you would if you were using the bottle your making it in to measure the water as well. As you can see I used a separate bottle with no powder in it to measure the correct amount of water and then added that to the powder so that if kept my measurements right still. And then for the last bottle, I put the water in first. The prep machine will always deliver the right amount of water so it doesn’t matter for that tbh. The reason I like to put the powder in first and use another bottle to measure is because when you put the hot water in first, the steam from the water makes the powder stick to the spoon and it gets very gunky and almost impossible to measure the correct amount of powder. Do what works for you.
Hi, it's different for different kinds of formula so you will have to read the tin. Most in the UK are 1 scoop per ounce. The Cow and Gate we used is 1 scoop per ounce.
If you are using Cow and gate stage 2 formula in packet form then for every 2 ounces there is one spoon and if want to made 3 ounce then 1 and half as the scoop in packet form is bigger and equal to 2 spoons of the normal formula. If possible use cow and gate tins
This is an amazing idea thx so much for sharing 🤗. Ive had 2 children and found this annoying so I wonderd if it was because of the hot water but now I will try your way 😉 this time round
Yes, it is water first powder second but I measure my water put in a separate bottle before adding it to the powder to make sure I am adding the correct amount of water. According to the NHS, the water needs to be 70 degrees Celsius to ensure the bacteria in the milk is killed when making the bottle. The bottle can then be cooled before feeding baby.
This is really outdated advice. Also formula goes off after 2 hours so waiting 2 hours before putting it in the fridge is really bad. No formula should be made in advance and stored. I've had 3 kids and even 14 years ago it was a massive no no. I use a breville hot cup set to 6oz straight into a nuby rapid cool add powder, shake, wait 2 mins and done its the perfect temp. Then wash out rapid cool and pop in cold water Milton to sterilise. Much less faff than a perfect prep with no filters :)
Storing made up formula for up to 24 hours is still mentioned on the NHS website. Formula should be offered within 2 hours but if that formula isn’t given, you have up to 2 hours before it goes off to refrigerate it so it then lasts up to 24 hours. www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/breastfeeding-and-bottle-feeding/bottle-feeding/formula-milk-questions/
As mentioned in the video, I used a separate bottle to mark out the correct level of water. This allowed me to keep my measurements correct and that is why I was able to add the formula first.
It is not a recommendation anymore in the UK unless necessary but it can still be done (as stated on the NHS website www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/breastfeeding-and-bottle-feeding/bottle-feeding/formula-milk-questions/) If the formula that you made up at home is stored: in a fridge - use within 24 hours in a cool bag with an ice pack - use within 4 hours at room temperature - use within 2 hours This method is still used in other countries around the world inc the US and as you said, to do it at your own risk. This is how I did it and that is all I was sharing. I'm sure everyone watching can decided whether they want to use it or not. Do you think as a mother I would not care about my son? I would have stopped it if it harmed him in any way. I am sure we all do things that are questionable including yourself but it's not always posted on the internet for all to see so it's very easy to judge.
Whatever you are comfortable with. Just like we all have choices in whether we choose to give them a dummy, pierce their ears, etc. we all have our own opinions and this video is for those who share the same opinion as mine on this subject.
@@enamulfarhan8442I prep the hot water in a 500 mls flask and use it up every time baby needs feeding. Then when the water run out get refill the flask with boiled water.
NOOOOOO.. NEVER store the prepared powder milk in freeze.. Not recommended in official websites or in the pack.. (only allowed for 200ml ready to feed bottles). So in urgency this powder formula becomes useless as a hungry baby can not wait for 45 mins or so to feed (30-35 mins boiling+ cooling + ~10 mins sterilization etc ...)
I think most people are smart enough to understand that sterilised bottles should not be touched with unclean hands.I should not have to explain/show this in my videos. My videos are made to be straight to the point so did not want to include a clip of how to wash hands. The power of editing allows me to cut those steps out.
@@RuksanaAhmed Aunty you are doing it again and again. Your process is not correct if you are using touching teat and inside things again and again. 1st learn then teach. If you don't know ask your elders they will teach you properly.
Stored in the refrigerator 24 hours or 48 hours I've heard these two different numbers throughout which one is it . I would be using Similac advance with iron I will be making bottles four days worth of using maybe even two days worth if it can stall 48 I know not to go beyond that I just don't know it can be stored for 24 or 48 Hours
Hey, I wouldn't store formula more that 24hrs. A lot of people disagree with that, let alone 48 hours! breast milk can be stored up to 4 days, even longer in the freezer.
I live in the states and it's totally recommended to prep and store bottles in the fridge for up to 24hrs!
Thank you for clarifying ☺️

This is absolutely safe and OKAY. Baby will be fine . It says it on the instructions.

No the instructions don’t state this, quite the opposite
No it doesn’t it states you cannot pre make bottles I’ve just read it

The fridge bottle for 24hrs can I also use at nighttime feeds???
Yes definitely, that’s what we used to do at first for the night feeds until we got our prep machine
Why make formula in the middle of the night when you pre make it and refrigerate it?
It saves me going downstairs to wait for the kettle to boil and warm up the milk
How many scoops per ounce ? So if its 2 ounces how many scoops?
