Making Up Jugs?

[georgiasmum23]

Can anyone recommend suitable containers (I'm thinking 500ml to 1L in size) to make up jugs of formula for the day's feeds?

I used to use a tupperware one that had the lid with a hole in the middle for a whisk but I used to keep loosing count of the amount of scoops i'd put in so I just started boiling the kettle and pre-fill the bottles with just water and keep them in the fridge.
That way I just had to microwave the water and then add the formular.

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure ur not meant to make up formula in advance. I think that's why they sell those tubs with the compartments that u measure ur formula scoops into.
Perhaps instead of making up the formula u could measure ur scoops into one of them and then fill the bottles with ur pre boiled water.

Its fine to make up the formula - it lasts for 24 hours.

I started with the jugs but gave up really fast with both of mine - I would just prepare the bottles individually every morning for the day - my kids survived and was so much easier.

Each night before bed I would sterilise the bottles and then fill them with the required amount of boiled water and pop them in the fridge for the next day. All I had to do then was microwave the water and add the powder and it was done.

I just make them up in individual bottles and refridgerate.

When DD was very little and was completely unpredictable on how much she'd drink at any feed and also how many bottles she'd go through in a day, I used to make up a jug every morning to have in the fridge. I bought a jug that is designed for mixing up those diet drink powders. Came with a lid with pouring spout. I washed it every night and sterilised it by boiling it for 5 minutes along with the washed bottles.

As she got older, probably by 3 months old, I simply made up the bottles every evening for the next day, putting them directly in the fridge.
