Its so confusing handling pumped breastmilk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-more-question-about-mixing-formula-and-bf#post-203130 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:04:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 203130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I mix the two, I mix the formula first and then add the cold breastmilk. But that's usually right before I heat them up. </p> <p>Although it's a good idea, I don't think it's necessary to chill the water before you mix. As long as the bottles will be going right back in the fridge or cooler, the room temperature water shouldn't affect the chilled breastmilk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-more-question-about-mixing-formula-and-bf#post-203113 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:56:40 +0000 Mrsbells 203113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who mix, do you add room temp formula to cold breastmilk? Thats what I've been doing but in a previos post Mrs Bee mentioned it was right to mix cold and room temp millk. Once LO starts day care I will be mixing formula into defrosted milk should I put the water for her formula in the fridge so that its cold as well? </p>
