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 brezza and do not use it bc I swear the ratios aren’t accurate. We use the dr brown pitcher, (I do wish it was glass) but we use that, and use glass bottles instead of plastic ones. (You can use the pitcher to mix then prefill bottles and keep them in the fridge until you need to use them (they’re good for up to 24 hours if refrigerated and not drank from, from when it’s mixed) and we use a bottle warmer which takes about 3 minutes to warm to a proper temp. If we’re out, we ask for a cup of boiling water and sit the bottle in that a few minutes before its time to eat. Most bottle fed babies are on a schedule- every 2/4 hours depending on their age so if you plan accordingly they never have to “wait” for the bottle… and when it’s warming you can be changing the baby etc.
