Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

A bottle
Hot water
A small container
Baby formula
A diaper bag

Step1

Measure the correct amount of powdered formula for your baby into a small container. If you have a sectioned container measure the correct amount into each slot. (For example: If your baby is drinking 6 ounces of formula at a time, then you need to measure 3 scoops into each slot or each small container.)

Step2

Fill one or two bottles with the correct amount of really hot water. (In the example in step one we would put 6 ounces of water into each bottle.) Screw the top onto the bottles.

Step3

Place the bottles next to each other in the diaper bag as this will help keep them warm.

Step4

When your baby needs a bottle, simply unscrew the lid and add the premeasured formula to the already warm water.

Step5

Shake the bottle thoroughly. Make sure it isn't too warm, and serve.

Tips & Warnings

If you will be gone all day, placing the warm bottles in an insulated bag will keep them warm longer.
Make sure the water isn't too hot when serving to baby.
