Pre-portion formula powder for the night before bed
Cuts a fumbling 3am measure-and-scoop down to just adding water.
Why it works
The slow part of a night feed is measuring powder accurately while half asleep, not mixing it. Portioning the powder into feed-sized containers earlier in the evening leaves only water and shaking for the actual 3am feed.
