I recommend getting a temp control kettle - I am not sure about cow and gate formula but the one I use needs to be made at 70*c and it’s so much more convenient than boiling it and waiting 20mins to cool down! The way I would do it is keep a bottle of boiled cooled water (make fresh one daily) and when you need a bottle, boil some water, pour it to 1oz to dissolve the formula and then use the cooled water to top it up 😊 takes 2mins - defo less time than warming up a bottle from a fridge! X

If I was going out, id prep a few bottles, cool them in the fridge and use a cool bag and ice packs to keep cold and if I went out I’d ask for a jug of hot water to warm up but if you’re sat at home, its so much easier to do the method above! Just make sure you don’t use boiling water as it kills the good stuff in formula x

Could I boil some water let cool for 30 mins then put in thermal flask and use that way ? So fustrating last month I had a nuby set but re gifted as was on prescription formula and had to make differnt way ! X

I'd recommend using the method that Alex suggested for when you're at home, we have the nuby rapid cool which we use for every feed and it's so convenient for when we are out too so might be worth thinking about getting one if you have the money to do so xx

I did have one 🙄🤣 think will get again x

We use a Nuby rapid cool now, purely because trying to reheat a bottle to the right temperature was stressing me out but for the 8 weeks prior to that we made bottles up in advance, put them in the fridge & used the nuby bottle warmer to warm them up and our baby is absolutely fine!

And before we had the bottle warmer we just used to put the bottle in a bowl or jug of boiling water to heat it xx
