Easiest method for newbie

I am in the process of adopting a newborn so we will obviously be formula feeding from birth.

I want to make it as easy & simple as possible and I’m wondering which gadgets / products are worth it. I’m fine with paying for things if they make it significantly easier.

Ex: I was going to get the baby brezza formula maker but then I read you have to clean it every 4 bottles, deep clean once a month, potential mold…no thanks. I am planning on getting the baby brezza bottle washer & sterilizer though.

Is a warm water dispenser worth it? Or would a bottle warmer be better? I’ve heard of the pitcher method which seems nice but I would prefer a glass pitcher which doesn’t seem to exist with the cool mixing lid thing.

Just looking for the laziest easiest way to do this lol thank you!

I have the baby brezza and it’s really not that bad. By “cleaning” every 4 bottles, it means to just wipe the dispenser piece down. At first I really didn’t want to do all that work but it really is worth it and becomes routine. Having the bottles dispense at body temp is awesome and kept us from having to get a bottle warmer. Some babies do t need a warmed bottle but I’ve found my little guy burps better when it’s warmed.

Yes use distilled water to cut down on cleaning/mold and buy a second funnel so you always have a clean one available. Easy. We love our Brezza.
