Hello Moms!
If you have decided to stop breastfeeding or are unable to meet your milk supply needs, talk to your doctor about formula feeding! It’s a great substitution for breast milk, but you’ll need to choose the right type for you and your baby! There are three main types of baby formula. In this video, I’ll walk through the details of each. Keep watching for more!
Formula Feeding Babies
Here I have some examples of cow’s milk formula, including Enfamil and Similac. There are other varieties as well, including lactose-free formula and soy-based formula. When choosing a formula, you’ll also want to evaluate your own lifestyle. If you know you are going on a long trip and won’t have easy access to water, a liquid formula or concentrated liquid formula may be a better choice. Powdered formula, on the other hand, is great for making smaller or large quantities and is less expensive than liquid formula.
When you use formula, you’ll want to check that your bottles are properly sterilized. Check my videos on this for further instructions! Next, pour in the desired amount of water, then pour in the proper amount of powdered formula. Attach the top of the bottle and shake well until all of the clumps have dissolved.
For more on preparing formula, warming bottles, and how to bottle feed your baby, keep watching this and my other videos on formula! Thanks for viewing this formula feeding guide video!

Thanks for the info! Just to let you know Brita water is NOT sterile... it just takes out some minerals that cause water to taste bad. I live in a community where we often have issues with ecoli and the Brita will not get rid of contaminates. The only options are to boil the water, use a reverse osmosis system, or buy distilled water.
The Choice of Motherhood thank you for these important comments!
Thank you Jennifer! I'm in nursing school and my classmate and I have to give an oral presentation on bottle feeding/preparing formula. You have given us fantastic information along with how to present our speech!! Very helpful and appreciated!
U might be a registered nurse by now 😍😊. U comment was 8yrs ago 😃
With my son, my parents and I always reused the mixed bottles left over he didn't finish. I never knew you had to throw them out, he did get thrush like 2 times. I wonder if this is from reusing them. I'm pregnant with my second and glad I know this and learned the formula feeding rules.
I am a new mom and I found your video very helpful. Thanks!
Powder formula is just as easy traveling as it is at home. Leaving water in the bottles to sit on the counter or in the diaper bag and add the powder as soon as baby is hungry (pre-measure powder in a container or formula despenser when traveling). The formula is freshly made and already at room temperature. No refrigerating. No waiting on bottles to heat up. No waisting milk because it was left on the counter too long. This is also great for late night feedings.
Kacie Leonard this is all for your own convenience... we make breastmilk for a reason! Studies show cows milk has too many hormones for a human baby and can actually do more harm in the future then good, plus the simple fact that, cows milk is made for baby cows. Why would god/evolution create mammals with breast? I also noticed babies who are fed formula also are very prone to nappy rash, indigestion, acid reflux, constipation more then a breastfed baby etc... studies also show that majority of babies who are breastfed have a higher IQ... these babies have to suffer for thier mothers comfort!.. if you understand the ingredients in formula, the two main ingredients are skim milk, which is strip of any nutrient and enzymes and also vegetable oil! Sure they've added some vitamins and what not, but the vitamins are synthetic!!! Why do you think hospital tru to promote breastfeeding now? All you are doing is feeding the industries at the own sake of your child...
Kacie Leonard if any one of you parents care enough to educate yourself, let me know and I will send you links! Use your common sense overall!!! We make milk for a reason!!!
Kim Le We are also not primitive anymore for a reason. It goes both ways.
Han Banan so eating fast food and drinking soft drink is better then eating how we used to eat because were not primitive?. Sure it's more convenient and cheaper.. but does it make it better?.. Do u even know what is in formula and the real science behind cows milk and cows hormones compared to a humans? Do you think it's ok to give a infant cows milk with sugar and artificial additives plus vegtable oil? Especially when there livers are undeveloped?.. I see all these formula fed babies around me with weakened immune systems.. what you would call healthy, i would call unhealthy because my child never catches the cold or has constipation, acid reflux, stomachaches, etc.... it is called parents comfortability over the interest of there child! Why do you think nurses and hospitals push for parents to breastfeed now.. there are studies apon studies proving that breastmilk is better for your baby. It is naturally made for babies! They can absorb and filter it properly!... if you want to formula feed your child!.go ahead, but dont pretend like it's better for your child to make yourself feel better.
Han Banan please watch *disturbing infant formula ingredients* be a good mother will you.... breastfeeding mothers are trying to educate you women and save your poor children from sickness they can avoid! Yes its angers us.. so stop thinking were just bragging and sitting on our high horse... we put in hard work!!! And its not for us! It's for our children! Vs you guys doing it for you!
I just wanted to say that I love your vids. Out of all the help videos I've looked at today, you are the most natural speaker, like you're actually just talking to us rather than reading from a script (and doing so very badly in most cases I've seen!). I like that you just talk normally and make us laugh with some of the honest things you've said. The videos and directions are also really clear and detailed without being complicated. So a big thank you!
After I have my baby I think I will nurse during maternity leave and then bottle feed. Breastfeeding for longer than a month does not appeal to me and I want to go back to work without having to pump breast milk and deal with other hassles. This video is a relief to me. Thank you.
Brown Eyes yep, comfortability and disconnect... poor baby
Kim Le babies are perfectly fine with high quality formula. While it’ll never be as good as breastfeeding, it can come close. Especially if the mother breastfeeds first.
Not everyone is rich, nor does everyone have the luxury of having months off at a time. That’s the purpose of formula.
@@kimle190 please stop the mom shaming damn. . She's doing the best she can .
@@SittingPRETTY727 she could do better and pump, that would be doing her best. Also leaving a baby at such a tender age, it is a huge cause for disconnect and the rise of autism in children. Babies know nothing, u create what your child looks for and expects in the world. If the yh cant trust or build a bond with one person, they will carry that through their life. Look up the ingredients in formula and what the scientific terms actually mean, also while your at it, look up the molecules in breast milk vs formula. If u knew the health issues experienced by babies/children/adults who are/were formula fed vs breastfed, you wouldn't be talking . I know from experience. A woman's role is being under valued. Woman are undervalueing their important role. Arguably one of the most important roles. If anything, they are representing the lack of mothering.
@@TheJosephPrice this is why a man roles is very important in the household, he works and supports the family during the critical years of a babies life! So the mother can do her very important job that sets the foundation for the rest of that child's life.
so is it ok to feed a baby room temperature I've always warmed bottle up
Very Informative...Easy to get all steps....Thanks for sharing this video .....
+Asif Vali Thanks for watching!
Thank you! We are adopting a newborn and I have been feeling clueless about this. I appreciate this video so much
Thank you
Very informative Video!
I’m wondering about how measurements are done. Assuming my baby is 17 lbs, and a baby should have 2.5 - 3.0 oz of formula for every pound that they weigh, not exceeding 32 oz in 24 hours...
So we mix 2 scopes for 4 oz of water. if you look at the bottle after it’s shaken (and the bubbles have settled- so say it settled overnight for the morning), the liquid measurement is about more like 4.25-4.50 oz. The similac container reads that 4 oz of water mixed with 2 scoops is actually only 4 oz of formula, not 4.25oz.
So do I base my formula for the day as 32 oz (8- 4oz bottles), is or as 34 oz (8 x 4.25oz)? It sounds really nit picky, but I was to make sure I’m not over feeding my baby 👶
We started with breast feeding and supplementing formula, but he was a preemie and my milk supply was low and then quit out when I got mastitis 6 weeks ago. Until now I’ve just been making 4oz bottles and feeding him, but now he wants more and I’m working with 5oz bottles. I just ordered some 8 today, but I also ordered a pitcher to mix multiple bottles at once. 😃
So glad! I think you should ideally buy sterile water from the store, I am not sure that all bottle water is sterile, can you find sterile?
If you put the lid on before the nipple and collar, the born free bottles won't leak! The lids fit over the solid white vent that goes on top of the clear vent. They never leak with the lid. That way you don't have to screw it on so tight. After feeding it is very difficult to unscrew the collar if you over tighten them.
So my health visitor told me i'm doing the bottles wrong - with my brita and adding some warm boiled water - because it's not hot enough and doesn't kill the bacteria in the powder and it can harm my babies stomach. is that true? or is it safe to make formula at room temperature?
Awesome, thanks for the video (but you don't "have" to warm the bottle). There's no benefit... and if your out and about and don't have a way to warm it and that's what your baby's used to... you're going to have a real cranky baby...
It's easier to digest if it's warmer.
So I can just use regular room temperature water right , I rather do that because if ur on the go like I don’t want to warm up the bottle everything I want my baby to get use to just drinking room temperature
Honestly have you ever enjoyed a nice warm milk? If so then you understand that’s the benefit
I usually use hot and cold water to get a perfect temperature
Gorgeous baby!
do you boil water for 1 min then let it cool before adding formula?
Thank you so much Jennifer! Sometimes I ask myself why I put myself through all the work it takes to do the videos and then I get a comment like yours and it gives me the strength and faith to go on!! Please check out my site too b/c there is alot of text content there and blogs, etc. Sending love, M
Very helpful. Thank you
Please, advise people to use hot water (over 70C but not boiling) so that the formula is sterilized from contaminants from their "clean" hands into the powder formula container. More under Cronobacter in the CDC website.
thanks
+Kiara Dejesus Thanks for watching! :)
+CloudMom you live in New York
Kiara Dejesus yy
my son is 16 pounds at 4 months bottle fed since day one very healthy! actually Pediatrician said hes ahead of his time!
Zarra STAR my daughter is born 10lbs :)
Kimarra 88 what formula did you use when he started
I find your explanations excellent!
+MultiMusik4 Thank you so much!!
You shouldn't give it to the baby, I don't know if it would be harmful, but I don't think that is how they should be digesting the milk...
Do you have to warm bottle or can you use it with room temp.water mixed at time you are going to use it
Thanx
Is it okay to use your finger?
Does the baby choke on the powder,when,it's not mixed?
Hi I Need Help My Baby Is Two Week And She Have A Lot Of Gases But I Don't Know If The Similac Advance Formula, The One I'm Using To Feed Her Is Bad For Her?? I Give Both To Her Brest Milk And Formula.. Please Help :/
my advise go completely cold turkey off the formula stay in the house holding baby non stop for at least a week constant breastfeeding..it will be very hard so be prepared for tears but just comfort bub and yourself, let the house go and if bub isn't hysterical he/she will do the rest,cosleeping safely and perfect attachment are the key to restabilising breast only life.my very best for you and your family Melissa.
Raise questions to your baby's doctor. She may not be able to digest the whey protein in Similac. There are some formulas that are specifically made for sensitive digestive issues. Both of my sibs had this problem. Hope it helps!
how should you warm up the bottle if you are at home and don't have access to warm water.?
I wanna use the parent's choice purple labeled formula,cause,it works more than gentlease & enfimil itself.,but,I do have a question.,they don't have parent's choice purple labeled toddler formula.,should I use a different brand,or,should I just breastfeed my adopted kids?
I have both breastfed and bottle-fed and I personally would not go through all the steps that she's doing. Yes wash your hands yes washer bottle yes use clean water and yes level the scoop out as much as you can but I don't sterilize my bottles and my children have never been sick from that my three-year-old has barely been sick and my 4 month old has yet to have any cold I use regular tap water definitely fed him a bottle that's been out longer than room temperature for an hour if I make an 8 oz bottle and he only drink an ounce of it I'm putting that thing back in the fridge cuz I cannot waste formula people make it sound so hard or so absolutely precise when it comes to feeding a baby formula but it's not use some common sense and you'll be fine
Baby Arneson smartest comment I’ve seen
The purpose of sterilizing the water and bottles is to prevent any potential harmful bacteria from getting into and onto your child.
Companies aren’t perfect, sometimes formula may have traces of bacteria that can be fatal.
Sounds like you’ve been lucky, which is great. But you’ve still been playing Russian roulette this entire time.
Joseph Price if the formula has bacteria, sterlizing the bottle won't help since the baby is drinking the formula
Can I give my baby the bottle at room temperature or does it have to be warm?
Hey.. I am always worried about how warm should the milk be?!
I warm the water first then i add the milk and give my baby.. Is that ok?!
Jum Z your worried about how warm the milk should be, but your not worried about what is actually in formula enough to research what the ingredients are!
Kim Le quit putting other moms down and find another outlet for your frustration we’re all sick of seeing your comments.
@@kimle190 stfu
Can u just upload a video on how often a 9 month old baby should eat.....as well as formula feed schedules.....
well explained
Thank you!
Hi. Can anyone guide me, how long a powdered milk can be stored to use? Is it gud after an hour
I'm confused about what unpacked scoop is supposed to be. It would be nice if you had a video on that. I'm not sure if what you scooped was packed or unpacked.
Prob to late but, they mean dont tamp/pack/push the powder formula into the scooper. Compacting the formula in the scooper gives an inaccurate amount of formula (or rather to much per ounce of water.)
Thanks !
I don’t know if you can get the kids to go to the game tonight but I 1:00
Can you use distilled water for formula feeding?
My baby's doctor told me to use distilled water or use baby water for her bottles.
I just get the baby water at the store.
I remember when my lil sis was born my mom bottle fed her in the morning and it was my job to clean the bottles and make the formula and make my mom's coffee
my lil sis was mostly bottle fed because my mom worked a lot and have time so i learned very quickly how to make bottle milk and clean bottles.
hi am poovizhi from Singapore. similac products once the tin is open how long days can use.
Do you still have the Similac big blue tub of formula
Hello my baby was born 10 lbs. Lol big girl..
I want to know when I give her 3 ounces should I put one scoop in a half for 3 ounces?
Jose Aguilar i would read what is indicated on the formulae container as it varies… xo
I warmed up my babies bottle in the microwave my doctor said that it was alright. Also, they told me that I could leave a already made bottle in the fridge over night.
Do you have to pre sterilized the formula?
What happens if it's not completely dissolved?
that's room temperature water used to mix the formula? hmm we use warm water up to body temperature instead. interesting...
thanks sister I have son he is 10 months but he don't dirink bottle
now I know your the best and they did help💜💙
But I thought the water had to be boiled and warm before adding the formula because it can kill any bacteria in the actual formula?
Same here, there's a lot of conflicting information on this.
SMS (blue)(gold) but we are in the uk
my mom told me that similac makes babies constipated maybe not for all though
Be a Americans baby and survived is really really not easy. Cuz a lot of parents doesn’t even have the commonsense to take care baby. But they think they are expert
“Can I use tap water in mixing formula?”
The answer should be- Oh, hell noooo!
Not everywhere has a terrible tap. You should ask a pediatrician, like my area's tap water is fine. My parents area is terrible.
Mozelac same here. With my first baby it was completely safe
If you're breastfeeding and you need to go back to work and don't wanna pump use Similac pro advance my baby thinks enfamil taste nasty. Although every baby different.
Thanks for the tip, Maria!
I am really scared with the comments that I read here.. Jesus..
Helolo cloudmum would like to know one thing every night I will prepare the bottle to my 3 months. The problem is that i never finished bottle always leaves the half ia throw me makes me sad i q what I do is finish my bottle of my son! I always ended each meal every night i using the same bottle 2 ( bottle NUK ) know if something could happen ? If I use a bottle of m child? Or I take the milk powder Bibes ?
what if I boil the water and later use it to feed the baby. will it be safer? I'm looking into cost. If ihave to buy baby water will it just be cheaper to buy ready made formula bottles?
You can boil it and use it later, or you can buy a water filter which your whole family can use, it would make the water safer for everyone. look into the pur or Brita water filter.
+Patterson Cash thank you
She was a crying and crying crying silently crying and she yelled that crying silently
The most ttt I’ve ever heard of is the guy who was in a
I dont give a shit when it's in the middle of the night I ain't following your directions lol
I have nothing against moms who formula feed, but I am very happy and proud of my decision to breastfeed. I plan to nurse until my daughter is 1.5 years, and then give expressed breastmilk to her until she's at least 4. Fingers crossed I make it to my goal!
Good luck! :)
Daniella Lewis with an attitude like that, you will! best of luck mamma! xo M
What does this comment have to do with this video? Nothing. This is not a video about the choice to breastfeed. Your comment is insensitive to those moms who come here to learn about formula because they are UNABLE to breastfeed. Being "proud of your decision" doesn't matter because you are able to breastfeed...but think about how that statement makes a mom feel if she can't produce milk...
She is a typical breast feeding mother look at me I breast feed my baby here let me make a video of my baby chewing in my nipple and wait for someone to say it's an inappropriate video so she can scream breastfeeding is a natural normal thing and you are the one with the problem. Just for attention you don't see people in third world countries wanting a pay in the back for breastfeeding they just do it and not make a big deal out of it. Self righteous I'm a better mother look at me! Attitude I think SOME women get mental issues when they become mothers. They get all weirded out and obsessed.
Women like you are one of the reasons I don't want to breastfeed longer than four weeks. You do have something against us.
Melissa what is the best formula to give my baby? She is about to turn 5 weeks old and has been exclusively breast fed. I was given a sample of similac nursettes for supplementing and a tub of infant premium enfamil but I've heard there all types of enfamil and similacs/ formula. My sister mentioned that I should be careful because some babies get hard stools due to to much iron in formula. I want to use formula only for emergencies / conscience.... Such as if I'm in the car and can't pull over to brestfeed, I'm somewhere where I can't stop to feed or I'm at work and can't pump enough milk to feed baby. Basically I want to use formula occasionally. I have also heard breast milk does not contain DHA AND VITAMIN D. Is this true? And if so that would be another reason I might want to too her off at night with some formula to ingest some extra vitamins.... And also to help her stay asleep a little longer;) please reply when u get the chance and thank u so much in advance.
Hi there -- I have a few shows on formula feeding basics that go over the current rules. Pls go to my site, watch those, and check with your dr. He will know. xoxo M
Formula is chemicals and should never be giving to humans!
In 2022 I wouldn’t suggest to ANYONE to use their “clean” finger to brush off excess powder. People please use a clean knife or tap it off on the edge of the container. There’s lots of invisible bacteria on our hands! 🤦🏽♀️
when your the only kid here........... lol
For mothers who really care about there babies, please watch *disturbing infant formula ingredients* ... eduscte yourself. Dont ber defensive. I get formula feeding is easy.. too easy in fact... but its not better for them at all and you are putting your baby at risk.
you need to get a life and mind your own business. If a mother wants to give her child formula that's her decision. Some women physically cannot breast feed and some women choose not to for various reasons.
My baby almost starved and got jaundice the first two weeks of his life because I was exclusively breastfeeding him. Turns out I wasn't producing enough milk, so I have to supplement. Formula saved my baby's life and he's now thriving. I would have loved to exclusively breastfeed and cried a lot over not being able to, but I prefer my baby to be alive even if it means he gets some artificial nutrition rather than him dying if I had refused to supplement with formula.
She was a very right and handed me a e
Everyone started
She looked
She
Have you ever considered breastfeeding your baby it's such a healthier way then some factory made formula
This video is not about breastfeeding. If a family has made the decision to formula feed, I'm sure that they've weighed the pros and cons for their situation. Some of us don't have a choice...your comment insinuating that we are not thinking about the health of our child is insulting.
Unfortunately we cant all breastfeed.. Because u can dont think others can.. I was planning on breastfeeding myself and was disappointed when i found out I'm not producing any milk.. So this was a savor for my baby for not to die with hunger.. In the past mammas had to give their babies to other women to feed if they're not producing milk.. So try not to be rude to other mammas :)
vieuphoria1008 seriously ? GTFO!
here we go, here comes the breastfeeding police. GTFO! This video is for someone who CAN'T breastfeed why the fuck are you watching it if you like breastfeeding so much. Idiot
vieuphoria1008 I for one cannot breastfeed due to medications and vitamins my blood gene needs for my health and to stay alive. there's many reasons us mothers cannot breastfeed health wise but its our way of life as well for so many whom just cannot breastfeed. Being judgemental on ones way of life is so completely unnecessary. You wouldn't like nor prefer others doing it to you- don't do it to us. Not cool.. 👊
If mothers who cared, knew the truth.. I highly doubt you would advocate formula!.. please educate yourself.. dont take the easy way out! You are hurting your child!
For the love of god, lady. Not everyone who formula feeds is "taking the easy way out", nor does it mean they are uneducated.
There are so many reasons why some women can't breastfeed, maybe look those up and educate yourself instead of shaming mothers for feeding their children.
Have a blessed day!
im a boob only mum and just so every body knows babies do great on breast only for up to 2 YEARS OLD not kidding. But for obvious reasons we arnt supposed to know this because certain business like formula and baby food have a problem...and I have several rear breastfeeding conditions making it almost impossible to b/f so if I have made friends with lactation consultants been educated and am still feeding my now very healthy vegan 5 years old then if you have a breast then you have no excesses but lack of support and information. I wish happy boobie days for all Melissa.
thank you, Melissa!! Were you able to make it to 2 years?
CloudMom hello I wasn't expecting a reply from any one let alone your self thanks and as for my babies and feeding in future I will b/f for between 1/2 years unless these a good reason not to .but this was not possible with my little 5yr old boobie monster because after ending up in hospital from vaccination complications(I will never vaccinate any human or pet again after a lot of soul searching)the government hospitalised her and was going to take her off me if I did not put her on solids at 5.5 months and boy did they push the formula. They thought I was not able to breast feed her due to her being under weight despite me telling them she has gained lots when I worked out my diet from all that she was allergic to and she was chubby and healthy until 2 days after being vac at 10 weeks old, then suddenly she was screaming day and night and passing 10 huge stinky blobs of gut lining per day(no wonder she was in pain and losing weight until I rejected medical advice and found alternative lactation consultant.) this is why im now a full on hippie in every way possible, I have learnt the hard way after 2 not needed c/s vac injured kids but I am happy to say I found unschooling before school age.i used to be totally mainstream and could never have imagined my life today. now I would never go back kind regards Melissa Namaste.
melissa o'callaghan This is not a video about breastfeeding. Coming here and spouting your feelings about breastfeeding is rude. You have no idea how/why some families choose to formula feed. You talk like it's as easy as simply making the decision the breastfeed...it's not like that for everyone. Giving someone who asks for formula advice the advice to just stop formula is NOT helpful advice and is incredibly rude. +cloudmom Your reply to such a comment has definitely made me think twice about continuing to watch your videos, as that is not showing any support to formula feeding moms. So disappointing...
melissa o'callaghan this video has nothing to do, with breastfeeding why don't you take your breastfeeding nazi self and comment on one of the breastfeeding videos about why you choose to do so, I breastfed for five months but it wasn't a good experience , I hated every minute of it. I'm a happy formula feeding mama and won't ever breastfeed again. You should be ashamed.
Something is seriously wrong with you that you need to come here in attempts to make other moms who either can't or chose not to breastfeed not as "high and mighty" as you. Step off your high horse .
🪸😊
I love the e this is the best tweet I’ve seen in my re
So so helpful thank u melisa
you give your baby formula? which do you recommend
Thank you I will be formula feeding my daughter once she's born in Oct, this helped a lot. What about a bottle warmer, how would I use that and is it okay with formula?
ehh what ever you do you going to want to add boiling water to the formula. most the Bactria is gonna be in the powder if u cleaned the botte right
She even looked t the prince that ty the eyes and the queen prince princess princess
another good formula is Gerber Good Start, I had my little man on it and he did fine, it actually helped him with his reflux and gassy issues when he was teeny tiny. It is also cheaper than the enfamil and similar
can i use formula my cereal I'm always running out of milk😂😂😂😂 I'm going to do it anyway if a baby can drink it I can drink it😂😂😂 I'm going to buy my own baby bottle too it's going down 2018😂😂😂 relax I'm a comedian and practice makes perfect so when i have my first baby 👶
question, I know it's 1scoop formula per 2 of water , if I where to drop formula first and then add maybe an extra line of water would that be a problem,mom incest it be the other way around? can somebody please help answer
Is there a reason you want to do it the other way? Per the instructions on the box, it says to put water then formula. It mixes well enough to do it per the instructions. Thats how I do it.
Thank you for thevideo
formula is the most amazing way to feed it..less open and stuff no exposing your jugs formula is so great just wish it wasn't so expensive
Um, breast milk has a ton more advantages over formula. It's healthier, free, and better for your baby.
+OfficialMuffiin
first neither is "better" than the other
and second how in the hell is it free?
covers for when you are in public, pump for when you are in public, bottles for public,nipple cream,etc. that stuff cost money! so HOW is it free?
+Carlea Stafford In that case, it's almost free for me. I don't use a nursing cover, nipple cream nor a pump. I bought 2 bottles for the odd time that I'm out without the baby. I use my hands to express milk. Breast milk has more nutritive benefits than formula, but I believe that feeding a baby with formula is fine.
+cuteyalexia
formula isn't "fine" it's great!
And so you don't have a cover or whatever so what you never take your baby with you? or do you just feed them before you go out?
+Carlea Stafford Yea, I take my baby out with me most of the time. I am usually home most days.
WoW i never had a baby to Raise ! thank u !
Thank you
Mixing the formula that way is going to make a lot of micro bubbles in the bottle and probably you are going to have a hard time to completely burp the baby, by holding the bottle at the neck/top and moving the bottom in circular motion to mix the formula will give you less micro bubbles.
I think it varies as well. When I was feeding my babies, they are all adults now, we boiled the water, warmed the formula and also had it at room temperature, depending on the baby's preference. We did sterilize the bottles, but many others just washed them thoroughly in hot water. Nipples were also sanitized. My friend didn't really do all that and all her children were strong robust boys, now men.
My precious little baby is 26 months and refuses formula she loves to be breastfed and nursed it's a great way to bond with your baby , my little one is in my arms at this moment being gently rocked while feeding , it's so precious to hold your baby as they grow up far to quick 😥😥
