I would never, and have never, leave a newborn to cry for 10 minutes. Both my children are great sleepers.

Formula dissolves fine in cold water. Try it.

HV's say a lot of things, but you need to find out what works for you. Boiling water whilst being half asleep is a recipe for disaster in it's own right.

But we digress. I'm just shocked that people would actually leave a newborn to cry for 10 minutes.

Hope the OP finds a solution.

Cold water does not kill any potential bacteria in the formula, which is why it is against current guidelines.

Oh for heavens sake.

This is the procedure for those who are confused.

1) Boil kettle
2) wash and steam sterilise bottles
3) fill fresh sterilised bottles with boiling water
4) Seal the bottle and put it on the side to cool. Do as many of these as necessary...we do three at a time

Night feeding, take one bottle, crack the seal, put the formula in the water, reseal and shake vigorously. Feed to baby. I havnt managed to poison a single child yet in a decade. Formula dissolves perfectly well in cold water and there is no reason why a feed needs to be warmed up.

Well there you go, I never even tried to dissolve it in cold water! Ha! Who would've thought it. No I won't try it, I have a child and don't plan on any more, maybe mother earth Gordon House can have another well sleeping baby on my behalf?

Anyhoo.....ear plugs seem to be the general concensous, or you could try head phones on an MP3 player, playing an audiobook or something? I used to do this as a teenager, found it really relaxing and the headphones could act as a barrier to noise when it's finished

Why are you taking issue with my post? What you are proposing is against current guidelines. It's a fact. You can make bottles like this if you want to, but some people (possibly the OP's neighbours) want to follow current guidelines.

Wow. I'm not a parent. And I never want to be. But I'm stunned at the guidelines for preparing formula. It was never this germ-phobic when I was a child (I'm 40).

It's either a blooming miracle anyone of my age made it to adulthood without dying of some dreadful lurgy brought about by formula being made up in advance..

Or, this goes some way to explaining why kids nowadays seem to have no resistance to bugs and viruses at all!

Come on, all of you around my age, did your mum's have fancy sterilisers? Or did they, like mine, make do with a bit of hot soapy water and a squirt of Milton?
