Dr. Brown's 925 Milk Powder Mixer Jug

Product Information

There are times where the ease and safety of preparing formula in advance make it a winning choice. If your baby is going to stay with a friend or relative who doesn’t know how to mix formula, you’ll probably feel better doing it yourself in advance. If you are worried you might make a mixing mistake in the middle of the night when you’re tired, it might make more sense to get that formula ready when you’re wide awake and store it in the fridge for later. If you’re working from home and just want the convenience of ready made, this once a day mixing is so much easier than once every few hours. The unique design of Dr. Brown’s natural flow bottles is a lifesaver for parents of fussy babies who seem uncomfortable after eating. The internal vent system in these bottles reduces air bubbles and the slow flow nipples ensure your baby gets just the right amount of milk.

I did the pitcher method and it was SO helpful. I bought 2 pitchers, and essentially whatever I pumped that day was the next day’s milk. So I pumped, put caps on the bottles that I pumped into and just popped those into the fridge to cool down to fridge temperature. Then whenever I had a a minute and the bottles were cool, I would just swirl them and then dump them into the pitcher. At the end of the day, I would fill up all of the next days bottles and leave them in the fridge. So all of the bottles for the next day were made and waiting in the fridge. Then I would put an leftover milk from the pitcher into freezer bags and then wash the pitcher. Since I was filling up the pitchers a day ahead, this always worked really easily.So, to make it more clear, at the end of each day, in the fridge I had all of the baby bottles filled for the next day and an empty and cleaned pitcher ready to fill up throughout the next day. This was easiest for me because I could do all of the bottle filling and pitcher cleaning after the baby went down to sleep, and had all the bottles done for the next day and a clean pitcher ready to go before going to sleep myself.
