[blparent] hello i have some questions!

[Grace Pires]

I usually made at least 24 ounces. I stored in the fridge and when I went
out you can put the bottle in cooler bag.  You can't leave it at room temp
more than 2 hours. Also it only lasts a day according to direction on the
site. As for nipple I bought different sizes as I needed. I can't think of
brand right now. Evenflow perhaps.

Hi,
If you make bottles once a day, aproximately how many would you make for
each day? Also, how do you store the bottles you've made? Do you put them in
the fridge until they should be used? If so, can someone recommend a bottle
warmer that regulates the temp well?
When you leave home, do you just take the bottles out of the fridge and
allow them to warm by not being in the cold fridge? I've never done this, so
please bare with my questions! *Smile*
Thanks, and have a great weekend!

In Christ, Miranda

Congratulations on your little one. Welcome to the list.

I also used the 2 ounce bottles to measure.  I found it easier to premake
the formula.  I only did it once a day. It cut down on the mess.  I used the
blender to mix the water and powder.  I went on infemel's's website for
measurements of powder and water on making batches of formula. I used my
talking scale to weigh the powder. It was easier than counting scoops.  I
loved the premade stuff but my son couldn't drink that type.

Hope this helps.

Congratulations on the arrival of your little one. Here are some things that
work for me. One of the problems is you are probably using a dry measuring
cup not a liquid measuring cup. Second find out what the max ounces of your
bottle is. If it is 5 ounces this means that the buttle tip top full is 6
ounces. I would get a bottle where the highest marking is 4 ounces at this
age, and then you can know right about where the bottle starts to narrow out
is the 4 mark. If it is slightly off it is ok.. Last do you have any of
those little 2 ounce bottles from the hospital that come prefilled? If you
do once you've saved one don't throw it away. They are 2 ounces almost to
the top. Then you can fill and pore this small bottle into your larger one,
and for every little bottle you can put one scoop. Remember once the formula
is added the amount will be more than you put in. One other thing I just
thought of somepeople use a talking scale to way the water, and they know
what the scale says when it is at the desired amount of ounces. Prayers
thatthings are going smoothly!

Hello to all! I just had a little baby girl last week. I was wondering as a
blind mother how do u fill the bottle with water to the right line for the
formula. I am having some trouble getting the amount of water just perfect
for the bottles. I was wondering if any of u had any suggestions on how to
make bottles. I tried getting a cup of water and pooring the water in to a
measureing cup and then pooring that in to the bottle but for some reason it
doesn't come out right. I want to thank all of u for your time and
appreciate all your help.
Crystal
