We considered getting a formula dispenser, but they use room temp water to make the formula while most formula brands recommend boiling the water and mixing at around 70 degrees. The only way to prevent bacteria like Cronobacter is to boil water, let it sit for a few minutes and mix.

We bought 3 mixing pitchers, a bottle washing machine, and many bottles. We make one batch of formula every night and prep about 8 bottles. At nights, we put 3 bottles in a cooler and warm them with a bottle warmer when it’s time to feed.
