What moms do
- 1
Put a small fridge or a cooler with ice packs on the nightstand or in the nursery.
- 2
Stock it before bed: pre-made formula bottles, pumped milk, water and a snack for you.
- 3
Formula moms keep ready-to-feed or pre-mixed bottles in it. Pumping moms park the pump parts there between sessions.
Why moms swear by it
The walk to the kitchen is what wakes everybody up. Cut it and the feed is over before anyone's fully awake.
