Stressing on how to feed baby

I’ve heard so many different opinions/ I feel a prep machine will be easier but I’m worried it’s not the correct temp and about it getting mouldy? I would use the traditional kettle method but the waiting for it to cool down at 2am gives me anxiety when baby is screaming hungry 😅
