Those who Formula fed.....

Any tips? What bottles did you use and did you develop/have any kind of system that worked for you?

Trying to get something going that will make middle of the night feedings as easy as possible.

We are using Playtex drop in's right now ....TIA!

Re: Those who Formula fed.....

First I would like to congratulate you!! We began using the Dr. Brown's bottles. I bought a small plastic teapot (something like that, not exactly a teapot) from target that boils water and I would keep it in my room so I could boil the water put it in glasses to heat the bottles without having to go downstairs. Once my boys formula changed we had to change bottles b/c we had a hard time with it coming through the nipples. Ther drop ins are very easy but my boys didn't like the nipples. we now use the Avent and they love them. I use elecare powder and room temp. water. It works the best for us. Good luck.

I found Dr Browns work best for the triplets. I just fill up the nights bottles after dinner and have them all ready to heat up at the time I need them. This had been working out fine for me so far.

I use Dr Brown's. Fill the bottles with water and cap them and pre measure my formula into those little containers. Then just dump it in, shake it up and thats it!
