Easiest method for newbie

[u/Wild-Shoulder7787]

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 use the Dr browns manual formula pitcher (costs around $15 I think) and make a batch each morning big enough for the whole day. I pour the milk into bottles first thing and keep them in the fridge all day. When it is feeding time I pull a bottle out, put it in a bowl in my sink, and let warm water run over it to warm it. We use Kendamil formula and I have found it mixes better in the pitcher than in the bottle shaken. We had a brezza bottle warmer and it only lasted a couple months before glitching. Of course if we are out and about I just mix individual bottles. I use a formula container to pre measure the formula and bring a bottle of water and give it to baby at room temp. A friend of mine will boil water and put it in a yeti cup to keep it as warm as possible when they are away from home at bottle time.
