Can I mix this in a cold bottle to send to daycare to be warmed? (Breastmilk &amp; bottles must be prepped before daycare).

From what I understand, it begins to lose its potency once it's mixed as well as when it is warm. So based on that I would think that a lot of the benefits would deteriorate before the baby actually took the bottle. My suggestion would be to add it to the bottle they receive before you leave for daycare or the one they take once they get home :) I give it to my kids once a day and it seems to help but you can give them more if they need it according to the directions.

I don't think any plastic bottles are truly safe to use with a warmer even with the bottles being BPA-free, but that being said-- I think this one doesn't really get that hot and it has a shut-off, so I think it wouldn't cause the bottle to melt or anything drastic like that. Because I have to scald my milk, I have another warmer that gets much hotter and so I had bought two metal bottles to use and I always just use those with any warmer now.

I used in formula once per day. So for that bottle that I would add it to, I would first warm the formula, just not as much as normal, just enough to take the chill off. Then I would add the powder to the formula. I would assume it didn't kill the probiotic because it made a huge difference for our little guy using it this way.

If you don't warm up the milk enough, the fats will stay solid and thus not get transferred into the baby bottle. These fats are important for brain development, among other things, so I just make sure the bags are warmed up enough so the fats are in solution (even if they are still solid, as long as they can transfer out of the bag), then I transfer into a baby bottle, and heat up the baby bottle to the temperature little girl likes best

You can, but it'd be easier pre-mixed. Theres just not a lot of room if you have it full for shaking/mixing. Seems like the powder gets stuck up in the nipple once you go to shake, so I would mix with a knife before putting nipple on and then shaking.

I don't really know about ready to feed. I would think no. Doesn't seem like you could just leave warm formula sitting around all day. I know a made powder formula bottle is only good for an hour.

I dont think you are ever supposed to microwave breastmilk. If you dont have a bottle warmer then warm up a pot of water and place the bottle (sealed) in the hot water for about 5-7 mins and it will heat the milk up that way.

From what I understand, 3 is to warm up cold milk or formula, 1 & 2 are for keeping those things warm if they're put in there fresh. This might help too:http://m.tommeetippee.us/file_store/us/manuals/electric-bottle-warmer.pdfHappy baby feeding and congrats on your new bundle of love :)

I never tried that. That might make it work better. I really wouldn't buy the item. It realljy doesn't keep the bottle chilled well.

Definitely! I've only used it for breast milk, but another baby at daycare only uses it for formula. One thing our provider mentioned though, is when warming a bottle of breast milk in water, these bottles tent to leak. Personally, I've never had that problem at home, but we don't take these to daycare anymore - just in case.

You do not use the water that goes directly in the warmer machine itself for the bottle. First, you prepare the bottle (either with breast milk or formula and water) then you put the bottle that is sealed and mixed into the warmer (which will also have water in it warming up).

Nope, it will still be perfectly fine. I did a ton of research on it before buying because I was worried about it too. The cold pack is in there simply as a courtesy, but it's not necessary. The probiotics are fine at room temperature until the bottle has been opened. So just put it in the fridge once you open it.

Pour water in and then add the formula. Push the button and it stirs/mixes it all for you; on top of warming it to the perfect temp...it's the quickest and easiest way to warm formula for my baby. I love it and highly recommend it!!!!! Best purchase I've made!!

I typically put 3 cold bottles of breast milk in along with 3 ice packs (the one that the bag comes with along w/two other block ice packs), and since my daycare doesn't have room in the fridge, the milk stays in the cooler all day. By the end of my 8 hour shift, the milk is still chilled. It may not be absolutely cold, but it is definitely still above room temperature.

I do not mix the milk and keep it in the refrigerator. If you want it cold when you use is, use some ice cubes instead of just water for the same amount of volume. Contact the Meyenberg Company for more information : www.meyenberg.com or 1 800 343 1185

I would not warm the bottle as it is a soft plastic. I squeeze mine out directly into the measuring cup or spoon.

I don't see why not, wish i had thought of that,(DUH) it was delicious, but went off before i could use it all!!!Things with a lot of fat in them usually freeze well. i had bought the milk from the same maker, but in very small carton, perfect! thought this was the same size as the milk, didn't read close.
