Using prep machines
Does anyone use a prep machine (Tommee Tippee in particular) to prepare bottles for their premature baby?
I have twins who were born at 31 weeks who are 8 weeks old now (corrected age 39 weeks gestation) and I’m really struggling with the constantly prepping bottles using the kettle. They are both responsive feeding so you can never be 100% sure of when they will wake for a feed and they can be feeding at different times.
We have a prep machine but haven’t used it yet because the min you can prepare is 120ml and they are both on different formulas due to their current weights so can’t even split between 2 bottles.
The machine would make feeding time so than easier but is it ok to use with preemies? I keep reading so many things about them not actually being hot enough to kill the bacteria in the formula.

I used one with my 24 weeker and never had any issues, it was a godsend x
I also just stopped the water flow early by pressing the button when he was on smaller amounts x

I have a preemie. We boil a flask of boiled water we keep for 12 hours abd turn change and do a flask of cooled boiled water we do the same with. We do a shot of boiled- dependant on volume and temp they like it, add the formula, shake it then top up with the cooled. Basically what the perfect prep does . We do a day flask and a night flask abd have had no issue x
