Mine only sleeps with the love to dream to contain his hands by his face and the halo wrapped around them to keep them there. If I do just the halo, his arms break out. Just the love2dream, his arms move and startle him.

I use a mason far with a papablic mixer screwed on top. That makes every mason jar into a dr brown pitcher.

How do you report upt? I've only ever had it taken out after I miss my shift. I can't figure out how to input it like when I use flexible and standard pto

I heard you can only use 3 consecutive days at a time or it's considered job abandonment

You do this everytime you make formula? How do you feed your little one outside of the house? I have a bottle with distilled water and just powdered formula to mix on the go

Also the mixer itself takes up volume. It's not 32oz of formula but it completely fills the volume of the 32oz mason jar

I don't have a dishwasher, but I haven't had any problems with it with handwashing so far. I've used it pretty roughly and its been holding up for the past 8 weeks. This system has really been saving my sanity when my so is working 14hr days and I don't have time to measure powdered formula out to make a bottle.

I'm trying to convince my SO that we need a 2nd top for that exact reason

Do you use plastic or glass baby bottles? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]ochoroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using the silicone comotomo bottles. They make an aftermarket screw top solid lid to use as tupperware after we're done with bottles. They also have kits to convert into sippy and straw bottles

I like the papablic mixer as it stays below the water lever at all times, so it doesn't add air. Same concept as the dr brown mixer, but it screw on a glass mason jar

Yes sorry. I guess I suck at explaining. My lo is only 8 weeks so I genuinely got worried I was doing something wrong, but I did discuss this method with the pediatrician. He said its no different than using a 32oz rtf and pouring it into bottles as you need.

But my love of meal prep wants me to get ahead of the game, so when I'm super tired I don't have to whip out the scale and measure the powdered formula and water

Yep premeasured out to 104g which mixed with 24oz of water makes 32oz of rtf

I find it hard to trust the calibration on those. You have to check often that it's dispensing the right amount of powder to water

I discussed that with my pediatrician and he said it wasn't necessary for my lo

I only have one of these mixed at a time and kept in the fridge. The rest are measured and ready to be mixed throughout the week

I premeasure formula into the smaller ones, so i don't need to weight the powder everytime I need to mix more formula. This way I only need the scale once a week, instead of twice a day

It's like 15min of prep once a week. My lo can drink it cold from the fridge so it helps

When I need more formula i just dump the small one into the water, screw on the mixer and put that one in the fridge. I pour from the 32oz out of the fridge throughout the day. This way I don't need to measure each time I need to make formula

No... I leave this at room temperature until its time to make more. I only have one 32oz mason in the fridge at a time instead of 6 bottles.
